Bio
Managing Principal, The Employment Law Group, PC
Scott Oswald is an accomplished trial lawyer who has brought more than 40 trials to verdict and recovered more than $300 million in judgments and settlements for his clients, in cases ranging from wrongful termination to employer fraud.
Mr. Oswald litigates employment lawsuits nationwide, with a special focus on whistleblower matters - including qui tam law, which can deliver monetary rewards to employees who expose fraud against the government. Since founding The Employment Law Group® law firm, he has spoken up for workers before federal agencies and on Capitol Hill, and has broken new ground in whistleblower law:
First jury verdict (more than $2.1 million) under new whistleblower protections introduced in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013
First Sarbanes-Oxley Act liability verdict to withstand appeal
First reported jury verdict under 2009 anti-retaliation provisions of False Claims Act
First Dodd-Frank Act retaliation lawsuit to reach discovery in federal court
In 2017, after 20 years practicing law, Mr. Oswald was nominated by his colleagues to become a fellow of the prestigious College of Labor and Employment Lawyers in his first year of eligibility.
Super Lawyers has recognized his achievements every year for almost a decade, and he has placed on its D.C. "Top 100" list multiple times, including for 2021. Mr. Oswald is a ten-time honoree in The Best Lawyers in America. He has been recognized as a "Top Lawyer" in D.C. by Washingtonian Magazine and Northern Virginia magazine, and is ranked by Lawdragon as one of the top 500 plaintiff-side employment lawyers in the United States. In 2021, Mr. Oswald was ranked by Chambers, a prestigious global legal directory.
Mr. Oswald is the current programming chair for the Federal Bar Association's Qui Tam Section and has served in the past as both section chair and chair of its Professional Ethics Committee. He is also a proud past president of the Metropolitan Employment Lawyers Association and currently heads its Bench-Bar Committee. Mr. Oswald is co-chair of an employment law subcommittee at the American Bar Association and has roles in other professional groups, including the D.C. Bar and the National Employment Lawyers Association.
