How do I handle clients' commercial disputes?
I help clients solve difficult business disagreements in ways that make practical and strategic sense for their enterprises. Whether a matter calls for an early resolution, a dispositive motion or a trial, I focus on developing the approach that best advances my client’s goals while providing candid advice, clear communication and confident courtroom advocacy.
Building a practice around complex commercial litigation
Andrew Henry represents businesses in commercial litigation in state and federal courts, providing counsel and advocacy in high-stakes disputes involving contracts, construction, real estate, intellectual property, product liability, unfair competition, trade secrets, insurance and other business matters. A seasoned first-chair trial lawyer, he enjoys tackling cutting-edge legal issues, developing persuasive litigation strategies, and distilling complicated disputes into compelling arguments that resonate with judges, juries and mediators alike.
Serving as a comprehensive advisor to businesses on a wide range of matters
Andrew regularly serves as outside counsel to companies that rely on him not only for litigation, but also for practical guidance on day-to-day legal challenges. By taking the time to understand how each client’s business operates, he helps leadership evaluate risks, weigh costs, resolve disputes efficiently, and determine when aggressive litigation serves their interests—and when a negotiated solution makes better business sense.

Leading with preparation, judgment and teamwork
Known for his confident courtroom presence and straightforward communication style, Andrew gives clients honest assessments while developing creative solutions to challenging legal problems. His substantial first-chair trial experience, deep knowledge of civil procedure and ability to frame winning arguments allow him to move comfortably from briefing complex legal issues to arguing motions and trying cases before judges and juries.
