In 2004, two experienced Seattle business attorneys, Danferd Henke, and Dirk Bartram, opened a business and real estate law firm focused entirely on their clients' needs. Their boutique practice allows them to serve people in business and real estate without the administrative and financial burdens and frustrations experienced by their clients in the large-firm setting.
Together, Dan and Dirk bring their large-firm experience to bear in their law firm in providing creative, proactive, high caliber legal work in business and real estate. Dirk and Dan can help you solve a problem, of course, but more importantly, they focus their attention on preventing problems from arising in the first place.

Running a business is supposed to be fun as well as profitable.
Let us help you get it started and keep it running smoothly.

Even in this virtual age, most businesses have a central relationship with land and buildings.
Whether you are an owner-investor, developer, landlord, or tenant, your use of real estate can affect everything from your economics to employee morale.

In a closely-held business, eventually issues will arise in the relationships among the owners.
Management disputes or personality conflicts may develop, a shareholder-employee may pass away unexpectedly or become disabled, an owner may wish to retire and liquidate his holdings, or the owners' economic needs and desires may become incompatible.
Other than death and taxes, nothing is more certain than that the relationships in a closely-held business will change over time.
The time to plan for those and other events that could disrupt the ownership group and the business is at the creation of the company and before those problems arise, while the parties share the same goals and aspirations.
