Henry represents clients in the food systems industries in labor and employment litigation.
After earning his bachelor’s degree, Henry accepted a role in public procurement with the World Bank, where he found himself frequently collaborating with legal teams. Fascinated by the attorneys’ work, he chose to pursue a legal degree of his own, studying first for an LL.B. in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States, where he earned an LL.M. from Fordham University.
It was during his time at Fordham that Henry discovered a passion for both employment law and litigation: as a student, he participated in the law school’s Unemployment Action Center, serving as an advocate for claimants who had been denied unemployment insurance by the state. He excelled at quickly synthesizing the information in an individual case file, digging into the state’s argument, and developing a strategy to overturn the initial findings. He also loved advocating for clients who hadn’t known how to resolve their own cases.
Upon earning his U.S. law degree, Henry began practicing as a general commercial litigator who focused more and more often on employment-related cases. Eventually, he dedicated his entire practice to the field, regularly advising corporate clients on remaining in compliance with ever-changing employment laws and defending employers in litigation. Henry is particularly experienced with cases involving trade secret misappropriation and non-compete agreements, as well as with the complex class action suits that arise from wage and hour claims—especially in California, where he is currently based.
Drawn to the firm’s client-focused decision to organize its attorneys by client industry, Henry joined Husch Blackwell in early 2025. As a member of the Food Systems industry group, he is passionate about collaborating with colleagues across practice teams to serve food systems clients.
Known as an innovative thinker, Henry has a gift for developing new legal arguments and leaving no stone unturned in his advocacy for clients.
