Thomson Rogers Welcomes Konstantine Stavrakos as Partner in Municipal, Planning and Environmental Law

Toronto, Ontario — Thomson Rogers LLP is pleased to welcome Konstantine Stavrakos as a Partner in its Municipal, Planning, Expropriation and Environmental Law Groups, effective immediately.

With experience as a tenured Partner at another Canadian firm and as a former town solicitor who managed a municipal legal department, Konstantine brings a rare and valuable perspective to the firm. He offers practical, first-hand knowledge of how local government operates, combined with extensive experience advising municipalities, conservation authorities, public agencies and private sector clients on the legal issues shaping growth and development across Ontario.

That dual perspective lets him help public sector clients find workable solutions and helps private sector and development clients navigate municipal and regulatory processes to secure approvals and resolve issues efficiently.

“Konstantine brings practical judgment, public sector insight and strategic advocacy that will be valuable to our clients,” said Stephen J. D’Agostino, Managing Partner of Thomson Rogers. “His experience strengthens our practice and we are delighted to welcome him to the partnership.”

Areas of practice

Konstantine’s work spans legal advisory services, regulatory approvals strategy, bylaws, agreements, bylaw enforcement, provincial offences and litigation when required, with a growing focus on the issues reshaping municipal practice in Ontario: smart cities, climate adaptation and the future of community development.

“I am excited to join Thomson Rogers and contribute to a deep and knowledgeable team of municipal lawyers with a glowing reputation in the field,” Konstantine said. “Municipalities are central to many of the most important issues facing Ontario, from growth and infrastructure to climate adaptation and new technologies, and I look forward to helping clients navigate those challenges with practical and strategic advice.”
