I have known Walter professionally nearly two decades. I am co-lead of the Business Litigation Team at a major North Carolina law firm. During that time, I and my colleagues at my law firm have hired him to assist our clients and, when he was General Counsel of a major company, he hired us to assist him. He is a gifted attorney, very creative and committed to practical solutions and dedicated service. He is also very well connected in the RTP community and the larger venture community. His depth of knowledge of broad swaths of the law is most impressive. He does excellent legal work and provides excellent and practical counsel and guidance.
