What clients are saying about Morrissey Goodale

“The Morrissey Goodale team were instrumental in helping us understand the M&A space for AE firms that desired to transition their firm to a new ownership. Not only did Morrissey Goodale take the time to educate our leadership, but they were instrumental in finding a partnership that was a true win-win. Morrissey Goodale took the time to understand our current situation, and provided excellent service to myself and my team. Mick was at all of our meetings, advising us on all of our options and helped us understand and get comfortable with the transaction. It was a huge event in the life of the firm and provided lasting benefits for ownership as well as tremendous opportunities for all parties. Having the “experts” at the table with you every step of the way was critically important to the success of the entire process.”

“I have enjoyed more than 10 years of service from Morrissey Goodale including strategic planning to M&A Advisory services. My first strategic planning exercise with Morrissey Goodale over 10 years ago was such an eye-opening experience. It really helped me to see multi-dimensional things that allowed me to change and grow the firm. We developed a mission statement and core values that we believe in and lived by them. It made a significant difference.”
