Preparing for my First day teaching Entertainment law at Emory Law School. Just speechless as teaching at such a prestigious top law school was one of the goals when I arrived in Atlanta 10 years ago. Thanks Fam, Mom and my late entertainment law professor and mentor Prof. Spencer Boyer. If I can inspire students and give them at least some small portion of what he gave us, I would be so grateful.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Walker & Associates Acquires Adjacent Main Street Property, Expanding Its Downtown College Park Headquarters Campus
Strategic acquisition creates additional capacity for the continued growth of Walker & Associates and StillWater Partners on Broadway

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — Walker & Associates today announced the acquisition of an additional property on Main Street in downtown College Park, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth and long-term investment in the Atlanta region.

Located directly adjacent to a building already owned by the firm, the newly acquired property will become part of an expanded headquarters campus for Walker & Associates and StillWater Partners on Broadway.

The acquisition strengthens the organizations’ presence in one of metro Atlanta’s most active business corridors while creating the infrastructure needed to support the continued growth of their legal, business advisory, entertainment investment, and production operations.

Founded by nationally recognized attorney James L. Walker Jr., Walker & Associates has built a reputation for providing strategic legal counsel across business, entertainment, litigation, and corporate matters. The expansion reflects the firm’s continued evolution as it serves a growing client base throughout Georgia and across the country.

StillWater Partners on Broadway, headquartered alongside Walker & Associates, is an entertainment investment and production company focused on expanding access to Broadway through strategic partnerships and investments in acclaimed theatrical productions.

“This moment represents far more than the purchase of another building,” said James L. Walker Jr., Founder and Managing Attorney of Walker & Associates. “It represents the continued fulfillment of a vision. From the beginning, our goal has been to build an institution that delivers exceptional legal counsel while creating opportunities that extend beyond the practice of law.”
Walker continued:

“This expansion positions us for the future. It reflects our unwavering commitment to our clients, our team, and the communities we serve. We thank God for His faithfulness and every person who has walked this journey with us.”

The expanded headquarters campus will provide additional space for attorneys, executive leadership, client meetings, collaborative work environments, and the continued growth of both Walker & Associates and StillWater Partners on Broadway.

According to J. Richard Byrd, Chief Operating Officer of Walker & Associates, the acquisition represents the result of intentional planning, disciplined ex*****on, and a long-term commitment to institutional growth.

“Great organizations do not simply grow. They build the infrastructure necessary for their vision to outlive them,” Byrd said. “This expansion is not about square footage. It is about capacity. Capacity to serve more clients. Capacity to attract exceptional talent. Capacity to deepen our impact. Capacity to continue building organizations that operate at the highest level.”

Walker also expressed its appreciation to the attorneys, administrative professionals, executives, clients, strategic partners, mentors, friends, and family members who helped make the expansion possible.

“Our team has poured itself into building this firm every single day,” Walker said. “To our clients, thank you for trusting us with matters that impact your families, businesses, and futures. To our strategic partners, mentors, and friends, thank you for believing in the vision.”

“And to our families, whose sacrifices often go unseen, we are deeply grateful. This accomplishment belongs to all of us.”
The expanded Main Street campus will serve as the operational headquarters for both organizations and provide additional room for continued growth, innovation, collaboration, and community impact for years to come.

I’m excited to share some big news: this fall, I’ll be teaching Entertainment Law at Emory University School of Law!

It’s been a journey, from producing on Broadway to advising talent on deals and income diversification to litigating against Trump. But, I’m grateful for every step that’s led me here. Now I get the honor of pouring that experience into future lawyers who will shape the entertainment industry for years to come.

Thank you, God, for continuing to open doors I never imagined. Excited for what’s ahead this fall! From Bridgeport to Emory: We’re Blessed Indeed! 🙏🏿🎓

JUDGE RULES HBCU PRESIDENT DR. HEIDI ANDERSON LAWSUIT AGAINST A MAGA SUPPORTER CHALLENGING HER CREDENTIALS WILL NOT BE DISMISSED!

Good morning from Somerset County Circuit Court on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I’m pleased to report that the judge denied both defendants motion to dismiss our case this morning.

A woman named Donna Satterlee falsely accused our client Dr. Heidi Anderson, the president of HBCU’s Univ of Maryland Eastern Shore of plagiarism on her PhD, written over 40 years ago after she was allegedly denied a promotion at the school.

So we sued for a million dollars and added a second defendant, Sandeep Gopalan, who is an attorney and professor at the college engaging in similar retaliatory actions against President Anderson.

Historically, this tactic of attacking our leadership, has costed many Black female presidents their jobs when you raise credibility issues and challenge their dissertation from decades ago. For example, Dr. Gay at Harvard lost her presidency.

Well, today the judge denied their motions to dismiss and for summary judgment and allowed our case to proceed forward.

They now have 30 days to answer. Thanks to the whole team and Dr. Anderson for standing up for herself. Thanks Randy Evan McDonald, my brilliant co-counsel, and Howard graduate and associate Paul Wilson, who has helped me with this case.
