Scot Anderson brings clients a deep understanding of the extractives industries, honed by decades of work in oil, gas, and mining.

Clients rely on Scot's comprehensive approach and strategic view. Scot doesn't think in terms of single issues, rather in holistic, commercial solutions. Having served 10 years in-house, Scot understands how extractives companies think. His engaging approach coupled with vast industry knowledge is why extractives clients turn to Scot to be their trusted adviser.
