Education and early career

Scarsi received a B.S. and M.S. in computer science at Syracuse University. He spent the next decade working as a software engineer on U.S. Navy defense projects.[1] According to Scarsi, this technical knowledge has helped him throughout his legal career by giving him the ability to explain complicated technology to jurors in a way they can understand.[2]

In 1996, Scarsi earned his law degree from Georgetown University.[1] He then joined the Los Angeles office of law firm O'Melveny & Myers, where he defended patent-infringement cases and became partner.[3]

Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy

In 2007, Scarsi joined Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy to establish and lead the firm's West Coast intellectual property practice.[3] He is currently a partner in the firm's Litigation & Arbitration Group as well as the head of its Intellectual Property Litigation & Technology practice. Scarsi is also Co-Managing Partner of the Los Angeles office.[4]

Scarsi has represented such clients as Apple Inc., Lockheed Martin, and Google in intellectual property cases.[5][6] Scarsi headed the Milbank trial team which secured a favorable verdict for client Apple in NetAirus Technologies LLC v. Apple Inc. The Los Angeles Daily Journal selected the case as one of its "Top Verdicts of 2013."[7] The following year, in Wi-Lan Inc. et al. v. Apple Inc., Scarsi again led a Milbank trial team in securing a favorable verdict for client Apple. The summary judgment for Apple avoided a trial which could have cost the company more than $70 million. The Los Angeles Daily Journal selected the case as one of its "Top Verdicts of 2014."[8] In 2013, AmLaw Litigation Daily named Scarsi "Litigator of the Week" for his leading role in securing a major victory for Apple over Wi-Lan in an intellectual property trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.[9][10][11]

In 2013, 2014, and 2015, The Los Angeles Daily Journal selected Scarsi as one of California's "Top 75 IP Litigators."[12]
