John Monson has been practicing as a corporate attorney since 1966, serving as counsel for national, publicly owned, and local companies on matters ranging from complex mergers and acquisitions to business succession planning. As one of two founders of the Tax Section of the New Hampshire Bar Association, he is widely considered one of New Hampshire’s top advisers on taxation issues. John combines his corporate and tax practice with work on complicated family trust and probate issues for individuals and families. In this context he also serves as Trustee for numerous family trusts overseeing their administration and investments. John served for five years as General Counsel and Secretary for a NASDAQ listed company, where he oversaw a business plan which vertically integrated the company’s operations, from producing raw materials for its products, manufacturing the products and then retailing the products to the public.
