Scott Liberman brings a deep level of knowledge and experience to his clients across many practice areas that he has acquired throughout his 30+ year legal career. He has extensive experience in creditor/debtor law with emphasis on collection proceedings, foreclosures, and compliance, which includes compliance with and defense of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations. He has also assisted financial institutions in preparing commercial loan documents and resolving commercial loan issues.
The breadth of Scott's practice reaches across corporate law, transactions, financing, and real estate matters. His real estate experience includes development and construction matters, preparing and enforcing contracts, closings, and litigation issues including fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of contract claims.

His public law experience includes zoning, Ohio's Public Records Act, Ohio's Sunshine Law, and other important issues facing municipalities. He also advises municipalities on development and various other construction-related matters.

He actively serves on the Ohio Legislative Action Committee (LAC) for the Community Associations Institute (CAI), assisting in the creation of new laws pertaining to condominiums and HOAs.
Prior to joining Coolidge, Scott held a variety of law firm leadership roles over the past three decades including Managing Shareholder at Altick and Corwin and serving as the Dayton office’s Partner-in-Charge of Buckley King LPA.
