Boston law firm Davis Malm is pleased to announce that Philip S. Olsen has joined the firm as a shareholder. Mr. Olsen is a tax attorney who focuses on state and local tax consulting and litigation. He brings over 25 years of experience to resolving and litigating major tax controversies. Mr. Olsen’s experience spans nearly every area of state and local tax, including corporate and personal income, sales and use, estate, real and personal property taxes, and unclaimed property matters. In addition to advocating for taxpayers on state level taxes, he represents property owners and municipalities in local property tax appeals.
