About Brian Scott
Brian Scott Chacker built his legal foundation at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a B.A. in 1996, and at Villanova University School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1999. He moved quickly from law school into firm practice, taking an associate role after graduation and then steadily assuming greater responsibility in subsequent positions.
He began his legal career as an associate at Fox Rothschild LLP in 1999. After several years there he joined Blank Rome LLP as an associate in 2004. That same year records show he became a partner at Gay Chacker & Ginsburg. Those early years in Philadelphia-area firms gave him courtroom exposure and an entry into the city’s legal community.
Chacker is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and in several federal courts. His credentials include admission to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. He has also been recognized by peer organizations, including selection to the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 roster.
He has taken on visible leadership roles within the Philadelphia Bar Association. He serves as president of the Andrew Hamilton Circle and has led the Lawyer Mentoring Committee as president and co-chair. He has also served as president of the Civil Litigation Section and taken multiple posts in the Young Lawyers Division, including president of its executive committee, status/diversity committee, and Champions of Caring initiative. Outside the bar, Chacker has served on nonprofit boards. He has been on the Philadelphia Bar Foundation’s Board of Trustees since 2015 and has held board roles for Friends of Farmworkers, KleinLife and Work to Ride, including a vice president position at Work to Ride.
Colleagues point to his steady presence in civic and professional organizations as part of his practice identity. He is a long-standing member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and of local groups such as the Temple American Inn of Court and the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
He maintains an office in Philadelphia and continues to practice law in the region. He represents clients in civil litigation and conducts trial work in state and federal courts, while remaining active in bar leadership and community boards.
