Scott Gedeon is an experienced labor and employment attorney with an emphasis on trial practice. He has spent more than a decade helping companies of all shapes and sizes – from small, family-held businesses to large Fortune 500 multinationals – defend their rights and protect their interests, both in the courtroom and in the boardroom. In addition, he regularly counsels clients on a broad range of worker and workplace safety issues, including on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance, on-the-job violence risk assessment and mitigation, accident and fatality prevention, and more.

Scott also has an active workers’ compensation defense practice helping employers recover money before the courts, in Ohio and across the nation. He has been involved in hundreds of workers’ compensation appeals related to allegations of occupational injury and disease across a wide range of industries with a particular emphasis on healthcare, manufacturing, restaurants and food service, and retail. In addition, Scott has obtained several defense verdicts for employers in high-exposure cases involving claims of serious workplace injuries.

He was selected for inclusion in 2018 Ohio Super Lawyers for labor and employment.
