RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: ERIC TRYGVE OLSON, BPR #035432
CONTACT: STEVEN J. CHRISTOPHER
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

July 10, 2020
WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On July 8, 2020, Eric Trygve Olson, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a Public
Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. Olson was hired in September 2016 as in-house counsel. At the time, he was licensed in two other
states. He did not complete his registration with the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners within 180 days of the
start of his employment as required by Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 7, Section 10.01.
In January 2019, Mr. Olson applied for comity admission to the Board of Law Examiners and
incorrectly stated that he had never registered as in-house counsel. In April 2019, Mr. Olson went to work as
in-house counsel for a different company. He did not notify the Board of Law Examiners of his termination
with the first company, and he did not register as in-house counsel with the Board of Law Examiners within 180
days of the date that second employment began.
By these acts, Eric Trygve Olson has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5 (unauthorized practice
of law) and is hereby publicly censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
