About Mick
Mick Henderson earned a B.B.A. in Finance and Marketing from the University of Missouri–St. Louis, then went on to complete his J.D. at the University of Missouri–Columbia. He combined business study and legal training early, a background that continues to inform how he approaches client matters.
After law school he was admitted to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. His career has been built around advising clients who need counsel that covers more than one jurisdiction. That practical requirement—handling legal problems with cross-border elements—has shaped his caseload and the kinds of matters he accepts.
Henderson’s training in finance and marketing plays a visible role in his work. He often handles questions where the legal issue intersects with a business decision. That might mean reviewing contracts, helping a client weigh risks against commercial objectives, or explaining regulatory constraints in plain language. He aims to make legal choices easier to understand for people who must make business decisions under pressure.
Colleagues describe his style as straightforward. He prefers clear options and direct advice over complex theory. He also spends time learning the facts of a client’s operation before offering recommendations. That habit helps him tailor legal analysis to the practical realities of his clients’ industries.
He practices at Henderson & Waterkotte, P.C., where he serves individuals and companies with matters arising under Missouri and Illinois law. He is available for matters that require an understanding of both business concerns and legal doctrine, and he continues to handle cases and transactions across state lines. He currently practices at Henderson & Waterkotte, P.C., representing clients in matters that arise under Missouri and Illinois law.
