Walker Kinney is a partner in our Atlanta office. Originally from the small town of LaGrange, Tennessee, Walker is intimately familiar with the important role family businesses play in their communities and enjoys helping clients form, build, grow, and sell their businesses. He works hard to understand his clients in order to help them achieve their financial goals and protect their family legacies.
Although he advises a diverse client base throughout the Southeast on various corporate and business matters, Walker’s practice focuses on representing founder-led and family-owned businesses in every stage of the mergers and acquisition process.
Walker represents clients across various industries, including professional service, manufacturing, construction, and logistics companies. Walker cultivates close relationships with his clients as well as their existing advisors, accountants, wealth managers and other professionals to achieve the best results for his clients.
After Hours
Walker enjoys playing golf and, on Saturdays in the fall, you can find him cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers.
