Firm History


Original BuildingIn 1998, Rodney L. Scott and Scott L. Tyler, formerly litigation partners in an Indianapolis-based litigation firm, joined an experienced New Albany business attorney. The three formed Ward, Tyler & Scott, a partnership.





Subsequently, in 2003, the firm was restructured as Ward, Tyler, & Scott, LLC. The firm's ownership expanded beyond the three founding partners to include Tricia Kirkby Hofmann and J. Scott Waters, IV. They had previously been with the firm as associates since 2000 and 2001, respectively.


In 2008, the firm subsequently reorganized into its current form, Waters, Tyler, Hofmann and Scott, LLC. John R. Hofmann joined as a partner in 2019, while Carli A. Clowers and Eric T. Eberwine were added in 2020. All previously had been associates in the firm. Between them, the firm's seven owners have amassed 167 years of experience in the practice of law. Since the firm's founding, it has grown from three attorneys and two support staff to a team of ten attorneys and eight staff members. We believe this growth is attributable to our emphasis on service and client satisfaction.
