This week, partner Kari Olson presented at a workshop for newly elected municipal officials hosted by the Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST). The subject of her talk centered on municipal ethics, conflicts of interest and accountability.
Co-chair of Murtha Cullina’s Municipal Law practice, Kari Olson represents municipalities, businesses and individuals in all phases of local land-use approval and litigation as well as in significant property tax appeals and other matters that uniquely affect municipalities, such as local public health issues.
