Henry is Of Counsel in the firm’s Trusts and Estates Department, where he advises high-net-worth individuals, multigenerational families, business owners, executives, and fiduciaries on sophisticated wealth transfer planning. Henry’s practice emphasizes planning that is practical to administer, preserves family wealth across generations, and reflects each family’s values and long-term vision.
Henry advises clients on gifting strategies, business succession planning, and various structures involving closely held businesses, stock options, carried interests, and private investment funds. A significant portion of his practice involves counseling clients on multistate and cross-jurisdictional planning, including preparing for and defending against domicile audits, migrating trusts to more favorable jurisdictions, directed trust planning, and modernizing irrevocable trust structures to better align with evolving family and tax objectives. He works closely with accountants, trust companies, financial advisors, valuation professionals, and other counsel to implement coordinated planning strategies.
Henry has written on the common law of trusts in an amicus brief submitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and collaborates with litigators on the interpretation of estate planning instruments under various statutory frameworks.
Before joining McLane Middleton, Henry practiced in the Private Wealth Services Group at Holland & Knight LLP and with trusts and estates firms in Boston, New York, and New Jersey. Before law school, Henry served with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, where he assisted in the reinvestigation and successful prosecution of cold-case homicides.
