firm offers startup founders and small-to-mid-sized enterprises hands-on

How I Got Here

My journey began in Detroit’s entrepreneurial community, where I saw visionary founders wrestle with legal risk and the challenges of scaling. After earning my Juris Doctor from Wayne State University and a joint JD/MBA from the University of Detroit Mercy, I became Corporate Counsel for a large corporation. It was there I gained firsthand exposure to complex transactions and contract negotiations with vendors, service providers, and strategic partners.

Through that experience, I saw how lean startups—limited by funding and resources—often entered negotiations unprepared. Without access to
full-time legal professionals, they struggled to manage sophisticated contract terms, which led to lopsided agreements and missed opportunities. That insight sparked my mission: to provide accessible, high-quality legal support that empowers growing businesses to protect their interests and scale with
confidence.

In 2022, I launched JAG Henderson PLLC to offer flat-rate, accessible legal
packages. While in 2023, I launched JAG Henderson LLC to offer small to
mid-level businesses and entrepreneurs growth consulting. Today, I help
clients close deals faster, avoid costly disputes, and build a roadmap to
sustainable revenue.

My Mission

I believe every growing company deserves clear, cost-effective legal protection and a data-driven growth plan. I blend detail-oriented contract work with high-level strategy, so you spend less time worrying about “what-ifs” and more time scaling your vision.
