In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin sits down with Travis Townsend Jr., co-founding partner of Townsend & Lockett in Atlanta, Georgia. Travis is a seasoned business and transactional attorney who empowers entrepreneurs and mid-market companies to grow, scale, and protect their vision.

From a young age, Travis embraced an ethos of protection and justice, always standing up for the “little guy.” Today, he brings that same passion to the world of business law, helping startups and small businesses negotiate with powerful corporations, safeguard their value, and achieve sustainable growth.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Travis transitioned from aspiring civil rights attorney to business law advocate.

• The unfair practices small and mid-sized businesses often face when working with larger corporations—and how to push back.

• A powerful client story: how a whiteboard startup idea became a company valued at $100 million, with Travis guiding acquisitions and growth at every step.

• Why investing in legal and financial expertise early can save businesses time, money, and costly mistakes down the road.

• His key advice for entrepreneurs: “Invest in yourself, invest in experts—it will pay off.”

Vision alone isn’t enough—successful businesses need expert guidance, strong legal strategy, and trusted partnerships to reach their full potential.
