Philip Holthouse — Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt

Partner

THE LATEST: Net revenues increased 6% at Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt in 2020, primarily because of increased tax consulting fees associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the CARES Act. The firm’s mergers and acquisitions practice, despite a slowdown in the second quarter, saw a strengthening market in late 2020. Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt’s state and local tax practice was strengthened by the addition of a partner from the Big 4 to lead the growing practice. The firm has nearly 700 employees across 13 offices.
