Review Henry Kates

Extraordinary Attorney for business growth

Posted by KevinFri Feb 12 2016

I am an entrepreneur and have worked with many different attorneys in the process of launching and growing a number of different businesses. As a client of Henry Kates, I have found Henry's council to be extremely useful in shaping our agreements for funding, contracts, support work, talent and more. Henry's value to us has included his business building perspective that extends well beyond legal support. In many ways, Henry has become our go-to source for sound business advice coupled with legal work that enables growth rather than inhibiting it because of adversarial legal posturing. I can enthusiastically recommend Henry for any client seeking to have their legal work contribute strongly to incentivizing business growth.

Attorney Kates is a rarity. He combines a deep foundation of law and business with common sense, developing practical solutions for even the most complex problems. I have used Attorney Kates to both open and close businesses and for a myriad of transactions in between for my for-profit businesses and as an adviser for several large, non-profits for which I volunteer. Attorney Kates's breath of experience and attention to detail set him apart, and he quickly becomes a trusted business partner. I recommend Attorney Kates without reservation for any organization, whether for-profit or non-profit.
