Walker Corporate Law Group, PLLC
Scott Edward Walker is the founder and CEO of Walker Corporate Law. Scott has 20+ years of broad corporate and securities law experience, including nearly eight years at two prominent New York City law firms — where he represented 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.
In 2005, Scott moved to California to launch Walker Corporate Law. Indeed, while working at the big New York City law firms, Scott identified a huge problem in the legal marketplace — i.e., that the big-firm template often doesn’t work for entrepreneurs and startups. Accordingly, he headed west — to the land of the entrepreneurs — to try to solve this problem by building his own law firm with a new, innovative business model. (You can learn more about Scott’s vision in this introductory video.)
Scott is a recognized expert in entrepreneurial legal matters. He has been a speaker on various topics (including startup issues, financings, and mergers & acquisitions) and has written numerous articles and blog posts for TechCrunch, Forbes, VentureBeat and The Huffington Post. He also wrote the eBook “The Startup Law Playbook” — and you can find him on This Week in Startups and This Week in Venture Capital.
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 (i) the Committee on Mergers and Acquisitions and (ii) the Private Equity and Venture Capital Committee, each of the American Bar Association.
In 2011, Scott came full circle and opened an office in New York City to help the burgeoning class of entrepreneurs and startups in the Big Apple.

Fisher Stone Attorneys At Law
Lowrance Fisher – Ever since he could remember, Mr. Fisher was passionate about business and always had an interest in the innovation of entrepreneurship. From starting his first “lemonade stand” at 7 years old to establishing an online jewelry store and later owning and operating an iPod accessory franchise, Mr. Fisher was constantly thinking of new solutions to old problems. Mr. Fisher considers himself to be an entrepreneur, a person who is not afraid of “disturbing the status quo”, finding a solution to a problem while taking a risk.
At the age of 20, Mr. Fisher started a retail business, introducing a new product that he found overseas to the United States market. Upon finishing college, Mr. Fisher sold his shares of the business in pursuit of his broader dream to become an attorney. While simultaneously studying for his LSATs, Mr. Fisher started a job for a prominent New York personal injury law firm. Three years later, Mr. Fisher was standing at his law school graduation from Florida Coastal School of Law, tremendously proud that he had accomplished his objective of becoming a lawyer.
As a New York licensed attorney focusing on Real Estate Law and Business Law, Mr. Fisher counsels many small businesses, start-ups, and individuals in protecting their interests and anticipating potential legal troubles and how to prevent them. As a small business owner himself, Mr. Fisher understands the unique challenges business owners face.
Mr. Fisher does not want to be just a lawyer for his clients; he want to be a part of their story. At the Fisher Stone, they want their passion and motivation to drive you. Their firm is young, energetic, ambitious, and passionate about what they do. If you want those qualities, then give them a call.
