Andrew L.Scroggins

Andy has notable appellate experience across the country. He has been counsel for a health care software company in the district and appellate courts, and co-counsel for the company in a United States Supreme Court case that established that employers may lawfully require employees to enter into an arbitration agreement containing a waiver of the ability to participate in a class or collective action against the employer. Additionally, Andy was counsel for a global polyester supplier at trial, on appeal, and before the Supreme Court in a case that resulted in the unanimous reversal of more than 30 years of Sixth Circuit precedent and held that collectively bargained retiree benefits are not presumptively vested.

Andy's clients have included major US employers in the staffing, hospitality, health care, manufacturing, retail, financial services, and pharmaceutical industries.

Prior to earning his law degree, Andy worked for nine years in the human resources department of a global accounting and consulting firm. In that capacity, he gained significant experience in investigating allegations of serious personnel misconduct, managing the preparation of affirmative action plans and government audits of those plans, conducting complex statistical analyses of personnel processes, devising compliant recruiting tools and processes, designing and implementing diversity programs, developing and drafting policies, and effectively communicating with a diverse workforce.
