Scott Horton works with manufacturers operating in numerous segments, including industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer products.

The manufacturing industry is less unionized than in the past, but for some employers collective bargaining remains a central aspect of employee relations. Health and safety concerns can also take on additional significance in a manufacturing environment, with new challenges arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
