A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, W. “Briggs” Scott graduated from Mississippi College School of Law with an additional certification in Civil Law Studies. Upon acceptance into the Louisiana Bar Association and The Mississippi Bar, Briggs returned to his home state where he began handling a diverse range of insurance defense lines across Louisiana and Mississippi including general liability, auto liability, professional liability, employers’ liability and EEOC claims, premises liability, admiralty, and malpractice insurance.

​

For 10 years, his practice has concentrated on insurance coverage and defense, representing numerous regional and national carriers, local government agencies, private corporations, and individuals. He zealously advocates on their behalf both in and out of the courtroom, while endeavoring to consistently provide the personal service clients deserve. Briggs has litigated a large amount of homeowner’s and auto bad faith, first party, and third-party claims, and counseled on complex coverage evaluations and regulatory oversight.

In addition to Louisiana state courts, Mr. Scott has been admitted to practice in the United States District Courts for the Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of Louisiana, Mississippi state courts, and the United States District Court for the Southern and Northern Districts of Mississippi
