Scott Edward Walker is the founder and CEO of the Firm.  Scott has 18+ years of broad corporate and securities law experience, including nearly eight years at two prominent New York City law firms, where he represented a number of major multinational corporations (e.g., Sony and Daimler), financial institutions (e.g., J.P. Morgan) and private equity firms (e.g., Apollo) in transactions valued in the billions of dollars.

Scott is a recognized trusted expert in entrepreneurial legal matters and has been a speaker and author on numerous topics, including startup issues, financings, and mergers & acquisitions.  He is commonly referred to as the “entrepreneur’s lawyer” and is a regular contributor to TechCrunch, VentureBeat, The Huffington Post and Forbes. He recently published the eBook “The Startup Law Playbook,” which you can purchase on Amazon.

In 2004, Scott quit the big New York City law firm and moved with his wife to California, where he launched Walker Corporate Law Group.  Scott had seen a huge problem in the legal marketplace — i.e., that the big firm template doesn’t work for entrepreneurs.  Accordingly, he headed west — to the land of the entrepreneurs — to  execute his vision of creating a new business model for the legal profession.  (You can learn more about his vision in the video on the home page; and you can review his most-recent Avvo lawyer rating here.)

Scott graduated from Cornell University (A.B.), St. John’s University School of Law (J.D.) and New York University School of Law (LL.M., Corporation Law) and is a member of the California, New York and Washington, D.C. Bars and numerous Bar committees, including the Committee on Mergers and Acquisitions and the Private Equity and Venture Capital Committee, each of the American Bar Association.
