Henry offers a “one couple one lawyer” service through Resolve, for separating couples looking to work together to reach an amicable settlement. Read more about Resolve.

Henry has a particular specialism in landed estate and farming divorce cases, and is a member of the Agricultural Law Association. Henry’s farming background means he is alert to the complexities arising in these cases, including dynastic trusts, partnerships, and liquidity, and he is well-placed to assist clients in developing creative solutions suited to their circumstances.

Henry’s work includes challenging children matters, where his expertise and understanding are highly regarded. Henry recognises the importance of taking a holistic approach to the family’s future, working with therapeutic and other providers where appropriate.

Henry is a mediator, a collaborative lawyer and a family arbitrator (finance), meaning he is well placed to navigate clients through the range of dispute resolution options which now exist.

Henry leads Hunters’ successful Family team, and in January 2022 was elected as the firm’s Senior Partner, committed to ensuring that the firm is a welcoming and inclusive home for all clients, lawyers and staff.
