A steady hand through complex business and real estate matters

I engaged Mr. McHenry at Jones Walker to assist with the restructuring of a family-owned commercial property business that was facing significant creditor pressure. His nearly three decades of experience were immediately apparent. He possesses a rare combination of deep knowledge in both real estate law and the intricacies of business reorganization, which was exactly what our multifaceted situation required. His recognition in those specific fields by professional organizations gave us confidence from the outset. Mr. McHenry’s approach is methodical and strategic; he drew on his Yale-honed legal acumen to craft a solution that protected our core assets while negotiating favorable terms with creditors. He explained complex bankruptcy-adjacent concepts in clear terms, making us feel like informed partners in the process. The outcome was precisely what we needed to stabilize and move forward. If there is one area for note, it would be that his high level of demand can sometimes lead to a slight delay in email responses, as he is clearly managing significant caseloads. However, when it mattered, he was always available. For anyone in the Austin area navigating tangled business and property legal challenges, R. Lewis McHenry provides exceptional, seasoned counsel.
