About T. J. Henry
I help lawyers build the next generation of law firms.As Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Federate, I focus on transforming how law firms launch, operate, and scale. Federate is a Management Services Organization (MSO) built specifically for modern law firms — providing the infrastructure, operational support, and strategic guidance that allows attorneys to focus on practicing law while we run the business behind it.We partner with practice groups spinning out of large firms, entrepreneurial attorneys launching new firms, and established small to midsize firms seeking to scale. Our platform provides everything needed to build and operate a firm: operational design, technology infrastructure, finance and billing, compliance, HR, marketing, and ongoing firm management.In short, we build the business engine behind the firm.Beyond supporting firms on our platform, Federate also designs and builds MSO structures for legal organizations and investors looking to create scalable law firm platforms of their own. As the legal industry continues to evolve, we believe the MSO model will become the foundation for how modern firms operate.My background spans M&A, private equity, and law firm leadership, which allows me to bridge the worlds of legal practice, finance, and operations. I work closely with founders, managing partners, and investors to translate legal and operational complexity into clear, scalable business strategy.Over the course of my career, I’ve advised on complex transactions, built organizations from the ground up, and led high-stakes initiatives across the legal and financial sectors. Today, my focus is on building infrastructure that empowers lawyers to launch firms faster, operate more efficiently, and compete at a higher level.I’m particularly passionate about helping partners and practice groups take the leap to build something of their own.If you\'re exploring a firm spin-out, launching a new practice, or thinking about how the MSO model could power the future of your firm, I’m always open to c••••••••@federatelegal.com
