Business Law Practice Group

For over 75 years, Johnston, Allison & Hord has provided a broad range of services in corporate, partnership, business and tax law. Our corporate practice group represents local, regional, national and international businesses of all sizes, ranging from closely-held family businesses to publicly-traded companies.

Our approach is to establish close relationships with our clients so as to better understand their business and industry. This enables us to tailor services to meet the individual needs of each client and to take a "hands on" approach to tackling and resolving legal problems and issues.

The diverse knowledge and experience equips practice group members to handle matters large and small, simple or complex, in virtually all areas of business law. In keeping with the firm's tradition of excellence, our goal is not to be the biggest - but to be the best.
