About
Scott Edward Walker is the founder and CEO of Walker Corporate Law Group, PLLC, based in San Francisco, California. With over 19 years of extensive experience in corporate and securities law, Scott has honed his expertise across various sectors, including financial institutions, general practice, personal injury, and private equity. His impressive career includes nearly eight years at prestigious law firms in New York City, where he represented major multinational corporations such as Sony and Daimler, as well as leading financial institutions like J.P. Morgan and private equity firms including Apollo, managing transactions valued in the billions of dollars. In 2005, Scott recognized a significant gap in the legal marketplace: the traditional big-firm model often fails to meet the unique needs of entrepreneurs and startups. Driven by a vision to create a more accessible and innovative legal service, he relocated to California—the heart of the entrepreneurial ecosystem—to establish Walker Corporate Law. Scott has since positioned himself as a trusted advisor for startups and emerging companies, providing guidance on critical issues such as financings, mergers, and acquisitions. A recognized thought leader in entrepreneurial legal matters, Scott frequently shares his insights as a speaker and has contributed articles to notable publications including TechCrunch, Forbes, VentureBeat, and The Huffington Post. He is also the author of "The Startup Law Playbook" and has appeared on platforms like This Week in Startups and This Week in Venture Capital. Scott holds an A.B. from Cornell University, a J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law, and an LL.M. in Corporation Law from New York University School of Law. He is an active member of the California State Bar.
