Welcoming Greg Matson: A pretty slick SALT career

In this episode of the SALT Shaker Podcast, Partner Jeff Friedman sits down with Counsel Greg Matson to discuss his move to Eversheds Sutherland and reflect on a career spanning nearly every corner of state and local tax.

Greg shares insights from his time leading the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC), including the organization’s core programs and its push for greater uniformity in state tax laws. Their conversation also highlights a notable shift toward collaboration between states and the business community, as well as key projects like the MTC’s work on partnership audit rules.

The episode walks through Greg’s career path, from the IRS and DC Office of Tax and Revenue to taxpayer advocacy at TEI, before closing with some personal reflections, military service stories, and a lighthearted debate on airport moving walkways.

Don’t forget to check out Greg’s SALT Pet of the Month feature, starring his one‑eyed parrot, Slick.
