About Ephraim
Ephraim Olson studied at two of the country's leading law schools before settling into practice in Utah. He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 2014 and returned to academic study to complete an LL.M. in Taxation at New York University School of Law in 2021. The academic trajectory reflects a clear interest in tax law and related regulatory areas.
After finishing law school in 2014, Olson pursued advanced tax study and then made his professional base in Utah. He is licensed to practice in that jurisdiction. Over time he has developed a practice that blends technical tax knowledge with client-facing work. He maintains current professional memberships and participates in continuing legal education to stay current on evolving federal and state tax rules.
His LL.M. in Taxation anchors much of his work. That degree deepened his understanding of federal tax code, regulations and administrative practice. It also informs how he approaches complex transactional issues and compliance questions. Clients who face audits, notices or detailed reporting requirements find that the technical background helps in parsing dense statutory language and preparing informed responses.
At Clark Olson Law, LLC, Olson handles matters that involve tax planning and controversy. He advises individuals and small businesses on structuring transactions to address tax implications and on responding to inquiries from taxing authorities. The work often requires coordinating with accountants and other advisers. He prepares filings, negotiates with government representatives and develops strategies to manage potential liabilities.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and attentive to detail. He takes a measured approach to problem solving, breaking down large issues into discrete steps. That methodical posture suits tax work, where documents and timing can be determinative. He also aims to explain technical points in plain language so clients can make informed decisions.
Outside of client work, Olson continues to engage with developments in tax law. He reads new guidance and attends seminars to follow changes in federal and state policy. His academic background and ongoing practice position him to handle both planning and dispute resolution. He is based at Clark Olson Law, LLC, and practices in Utah. He focuses his practice on tax law and related compliance and planning matters.
