Devin W. Blackburn is a seasoned tax attorney with a practice centered on the structuring and tax optimization of complex corporate transactions. Her work spans mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, IPO readiness, crossborder reorganizations, and high-stakes IRS controversies.
Devin advises public and private companies, boards, and executives on pre-transaction planning, corporate governance, equity compensation, and securities compliance. She brings particular depth in matters involving Rule 10b5-1 plans, Section 83 and QSBS elections, Rule 144A offerings, and SEC-related tax issues.
Prior to reentering private practice, Devin held senior leadership roles in the financial industry where she developed integrated tax and wealth strategies for executives and entrepreneurs. Her experience allows her to offer clients the kind of cross-functional insight that bridges legal, tax, and transactional strategy.
Clients rely on Devin for direct, technically sound guidance—whether structuring tax-efficient exits, navigating pre-IPO risks, or negotiating with the IRS. She is equally comfortable working alongside internal legal teams or leading outside counsel in high-value, time-sensitive matters.
