About R. Scott
R. Scott Jones began his professional path in the United Kingdom. He earned a Bachelor of Laws with Honours from the University of Warwick in 1988 and completed the Association of Taxation Technicians Examination in 1990. Those early credentials framed a career that moves between tax, business and law.
He spent a significant portion of the 1990s in professional services. By 1995 he was a senior manager at KPMG LLP, where he handled complex tax and advisory engagements. That period exposed him to multinational structures and cross-border tax issues and set the stage for a later shift into legal practice.
Jones entered the U.S. legal market in the 2000s. He is admitted in New York State and before federal courts including the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. In 2006 he joined Goldstein Jones LLP as a lawyer, contributing to the firm’s tax and estate planning work while advising businesses and individuals on transactional and compliance matters.
Alongside his law practice Jones pursued entrepreneurial projects. He launched HOWTOinUSA.com in 2009, a site aimed at helping individuals understand aspects of moving to and working in the United States. In 2012 he co-founded SilkTunes, Inc., a technology venture that reflected an interest in business development and digital products. These enterprises complemented his practice and offered a different perspective on client needs.
Professional memberships are a steady part of Jones’s profile. He has been a member of the American Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association since 1998. He also holds membership in the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners and in British-American Business, Inc. These affiliations underscore the cross-border and trust-and-estate dimensions of his work.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical and rooted in technical tax knowledge. He often handles matters that require coordination between tax rules and estate planning, and he advises clients who have ties in both the U.K. and the U.S. He maintains an office at Goldstein Jones LLP and continues to combine legal practice with advisory work and business ventures.
He currently practices at Goldstein Jones LLP and focuses on tax, trusts and cross-border matters.
