Blanco Tackabery & Matamoros

What Blanco Tackabery & Matamoros does

Blanco Tackabery & Matamoros, P.A. is a privately held mid-sized law firm founded in 1973 and headquartered at 404 N. Marshall St., Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The firm operates as a Professional Association under North Carolina law, owned by its attorney shareholders, with approximately 25-30 attorneys across an overall headcount of 101-250. It delivers legal services across 14 practice areas, including Business Law, Civil Litigation, Commercial Real Estate, Trusts and Estates, Commercial Lending, Employment Law, Intellectual Property, Municipal Law, Fiduciary Litigation, Property Management, Business Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights, Affordable Housing and Community Development, Renewable Energy Financing and Development, and Outside General Counsel Services.

The firm's primary verticals are affordable housing developers (with 25+ years of LIHTC, HUD, HOME, CDBG, USDA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac program experience), renewable energy developers (solar farm financing across 25+ states from Southeast to Pacific Coast), financial institutions (commercial lending, bankruptcy, creditors' rights), commercial real estate clients, and North Carolina municipalities (Lewisville, Walkertown, Tobaccoville, Bethania, Clemmons). The firm's value proposition centers on domain specialization in heavily regulated niches, an integrated team approach across practice areas, and a "big firm capabilities, small firm sensibilities" positioning that has produced recurring Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and AV Preeminent recognitions.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services billing: hourly fees, flat/alternative fee arrangements, contingency for select bankruptcy matters, and subscription-style retainers for Outside General Counsel clients seeking predictable legal expenses. The firm does not disclose revenue, does not have external investors or a parent company, and has not undergone an IPO, acquisition, or merger. Business development is relationship-based, driven by attorney networking, community involvement (including sponsorships such as the SummerLark charity concert), and an active website content engine publishing attorney-authored industry insights.
