John Rashke

John worked with hundreds of clients throughout the state counseling them on qualified and non-qualified retirement plans, cafeteria and fringe benefit plans, and other forms of compensation planning. His extensive work in the area of executive compensation earned him an excellent reputation in the field of employee benefits law.

For more than 30 years he focused on business law – and in particular employee benefits. Once the founder and president of the Madison Pension Council, John’s legal and business acumen was evident when he assisted numerous clients with forming business entities, assisting in mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations locally and nationally.

In addition to his professional dedication, John is also a community volunteer with the Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail where he performs maintenance, builds benches and raises funds to preserve the natural treasure of the trail.

John worked mostly with small and medium size business entities. He was one of the leaders in Wisconsin in incorporating professionals such as physicians, dentists and accountants so they could obtain the benefits of profit and pension plans as well as pre-tax health and disability benefits. He was also utilizing the principles of 401(k) plans before Congress even adopted that section of the Internal Revenue Code.
