“Helping clients succeed and achieve important milestones is the core guiding principle of our firm.” Founder, Tegan Blackburn
Tegan brings several decades of experience in large law firm, in-house and private practice roles to representing a wide variety of privately-held companies in all stages of their corporate life. At the start of her career, she was an associate in a large corporate law department and then transitioned to an in-house position as Corporation Counsel and Vice President to a privately-held, national company.
Since opening her private practice over a decade ago, she continues to focus on business and corporate matters frequently acting as a company’s trusted “go to” outside general counsel advising clients on a multitude of issues that arise in today’s increasingly complex business environments. In addition to her broad business and legal background, she brings extensive regulatory expertise to proactively advising clients on compliance issues, assessing and managing risks, including privacy and security mandates under various state, federal and international laws impacting their operations. She often serves as chief compliance officer and outside general counsel to highly-regulated businesses, including international tech companies, national software developers, regional healthcare providers and a wide range of local and regional businesses. She enjoys working with start-ups, as well as more seasoned entrepreneurs helping clients navigate successful outcomes.
She also brings several years of experience at top, national litigation firms during law school and her roles as Attorney/Trial Referee for both state and federal courts to helping parties reach quick, cost-effective, practical results.
She also enjoys working with individual clients on important personal matters such as business succession planning, personal estate planning, probate and resolving contractual disputes.
Outside her law practice, she’s very involved in the community and strongly believes in the importance of giving back serving for over a decade as president of a local non-profit and chairing the Simsbury Zoning Board of Appeals. She also holds advisory positions on a number of private boards and foundations.
Tegan consistently receives top ratings from her clients on AVVO, Linkedin, Google and Martindale.
