Biography
Christopher M. Henderson serves as a partner at Brothers Henderson Durkin, P.S., drawing on a multifaceted background in law, technology, and disability advocacy. His practice includes estate and end-of-life planning, special needs trusts, guardianships, and advising on public benefits and special education matters. He also handles disputes in these areas.
Before practicing law, Chris was a software developer and later a CTO, using technology to address accessibility issues. He later joined the Seattle office of a global law firm, advising tech startups on transactions and corporate matters, often acting as outside general counsel.
During law school, Chris served as symposium editor for the Washington Law Review. In that role, he worked with the late Professor Paul Miller to organize a symposium on international disability rights, resulting in a published edition that explored legal strategies for change in Asia.
