John Boxer Rejoins Morgan Lewis After Leading Family Office

BOSTON and PHILADELPHIA, October 1, 2025: John Boxer, a former Morgan Lewis partner who spent the last 11 years as general counsel and chief operating officer of Metropolitan Wealth Management LLC, a private, multifamily office and subsidiary of Bellevue Capital Partners, has rejoined the firm as a partner in the private client group. Resident in the Boston and Philadelphia offices, John’s return reunites him with colleagues and will provide invaluable insights from his family office leadership experience.

“As family offices and high-net-worth individuals manage significant wealth and pursue opportunities in areas such as technology-driven investing and purpose-driven philanthropy, they seek advisors who can seamlessly blend strategic foresight with evolving family interests,” said Firm Chair Jami McKeon. “John brings a valuable dual lens from both a sophisticated family office and private practice, equipping him to help clients navigate complexity with insight and alignment.”

John’s practice will focus on developing and implementing sophisticated multigenerational estate and tax plans for high-net-worth individuals and their families throughout the country and advising the owners and operators of closely held family businesses on a wide range of matters including entity formation, structuring and restructuring, commercial and residential real estate acquisitions, and business succession issues.

“John’s return brings not only deep technical and practical knowledge, but also the trusted relationships that define our work with families and their enterprises,” said Christina Fournaris, leader of the firm’s private client practice and co-leader of the firm’s family office initiative. “His insight into multigenerational tax planning, business succession planning in a multitude of sectors, real estate development, and philanthropic strategy will be invaluable to clients navigating growth and impact. We’re delighted to welcome John back.”

Morgan Lewis’s private client lawyers advise individuals and family businesses with substantial wealth on their legal and financial interests. Consistently recognized by Chambers High Net Worth among “the world’s best,” the team counsels on estate and gift tax planning, family business succession, philanthropic strategies, and personal financial interest management on both national and international levels.
