Americas Special Sits and Distressed Weekly – Jon Henes Discusses C Street’s Law Firm Optimization Business

By Harvard Zhang

Leveraging his two-decade experience in Kirkland & Ellis’ elite restructuring group, Jon Henes, founder and CEO of C Street, said the legal industry is entering one of the most significant periods of change in its history and that law firms increasingly need advisors who understand both the practice of law and the business of building enduring institutions.

“Most advisors evaluate law firms from the outside. I spent more than 20 years as a senior partner at one of the world’s leading law firms, where I not only helped build a practice and advised clients, but also recruited talent, evaluated partners and participated in the governance of the New York office,” Henes said in an interview with Octus. “That experience impacts both the advice we give and the way we work with clients. We don’t parachute in with a report; we become an extension of the leadership team.”
