Scott Reynolds is a director in Fennemore’s trusts and estates practice, advising individuals, families, and business owners on estate planning, probate, and trust administration matters throughout California. He is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Law, designated by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction held by a limited number of attorneys in the state.

Scott’s practice focuses on estate planning, trust administration, probate, business formations, business succession planning, and tax-related matters. He works with closely held businesses and high-net-worth individuals to develop strategies that preserve wealth, support long-term goals, and ensure smooth transitions across generations.

Before entering the legal profession, Scott earned his MBA from the University of California, Berkeley and worked in the tax department of a Big Eight accounting firm in San Francisco. He later built a strong legal career across California, including serving as a senior partner at a Redlands-based firm and as a managing shareholder and practice group leader at a North Bay firm.

In 2015, Scott founded Reynolds Law, a firm focused on delivering practical estate and business planning solutions to clients across Solano, Yolo, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. In 2026, Reynolds Law joined forces with Fennemore, continuing service for existing clients and expanding support as their needs grow with Fennemore’s broader platform, advanced technology stack, and forward-looking approach
