"As demonstrated by his accomplishments at Monsanto/Bayer, nobody knows more than Scott Partridge about resolving seemingly impossible, complicated, multi-faceted disputes. From worldwide intellectual property disputes with a powerful competitor to virtual bet-the-business mass tort, environmental, and regulatory litigation, Scott has brought to bear innovative and strategic dispute resolution techniques to make the impossible possible, finding ways to bridge gaps between zealous adversaries, and often simultaneously astounding stakeholders on opposite sides. But perhaps his most important – and rarist – quality is the ability to see things from both sides and to understand what has to be done not only to get a deal but to get it accepted – in his Board room, the other side’s Board room, a plaintiffs steering committee, or approving courts. These are the talents that have made Scott’s advice so sought-after at the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution and the Chief Legal Officers Council."
