John A. Morrice

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach that works for privately held companies. Each one is as unique as the family, or professionals, that started it. Regardless of size, industry, reach and goals, I bring the right blend of experience dealing with technical, business and legal issues and genuine caring for the people who’ve built each successful enterprise.

John Morrice is a go-to counselor and advisor to privately held and family-owned companies. For more than 35 years, he has worked with business owners, entrepreneurs and executives of manufacturing, distribution and construction clients. In addition, John helps physician and medical practices, as well as law, accounting, architectural and engineering firms in their business and tax planning, growth strategies, growing pains and exit options. Client revenues range from hundreds of millions to start ups. Clients hire John because he’s seen “it” and dealt with it before: employment and labor, financial management, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, employee benefits, wealth transfer and generational planning. Succession planning is at the center of John’s work – the transfer of assets from one generation or a key owner to the next. His sensitive, practical and caring approach, combined with his thoughtfulness about fees, inspires confidence and trust. John served as co-managing partner of Johnston, Allison & Hord from 1997 to 2005 and is past chair of the firm’s Corporate Group.
