"Kris is an excellent litigator. We at HPE trust his judgment and strategic decisions completely. Kris understands our business very well and works with our internal lawyers and business people with an eye toward solving our business problems – not just litigation problems. That makes Kris easy and enjoyable for our litigation team to work with." —Bob Particelli, Head of Litigation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.

Kristofor Henning’s practice focuses on commercial and consumer litigation for his corporate clients, including lengthy experience defending class action litigation. He also has significant experience defending employment litigation for his clients. Kris represents clients from a variety of industries, including technology, pharmaceutical, and healthcare.

While the great majority of Kris’s career has been spent in a law firm, he also spent approximately 3‒5 years as a Vice President in the litigation department at Hewlett Packard Co. and then Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. As a result, Kris has developed a unique insight into the needs, concerns, pressures, and priorities of his corporate clients. Using this experience, Kris is able to combine an in-depth understanding of his clients’ business with innovative litigation strategies to achieve results that prioritize his clients’ business interests.
