About Athanasiou Law Professional Corporation
Athanasiou Law Professional Corporation is a solo litigation and family law practice run by Alisha E. Athanasiou out of an office on University Avenue in downtown Toronto. Athanasiou earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa in 2013 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2014, after articling with both a criminal lawyer and a litigation firm in downtown Toronto. The practice focuses on civil, commercial, and family law matters, and Athanasiou built it around resolving disputes without the cost and delay of protracted court proceedings. Athanasiou also offers unbundled legal services, so clients can retain the firm for a defined task instead of a full case.
Outside the caseload, Athanasiou has spent more than 18 years studying, practicing, and teaching yoga and meditation, and now runs a mindfulness consulting practice for other legal professionals. Athanasiou has delivered continuing professional development programming on mindfulness and law through the Toronto Lawyers Association, and hosts a weekly virtual session open to lawyers at all experience levels who want practical tools for managing the stress of practice. Since 2018, Athanasiou has also volunteered weekly as a tutor with the Pathways to Education program.

The neighbourhood
The firm's Toronto office sits on University Avenue, the wide ceremonial boulevard that runs past Osgoode Hall, which houses the offices of the Law Society of Ontario, and the cluster of Ontario courthouses along the same corridor. For a solo litigation and family law practice, that puts Athanasiou Law within walking distance of the courts where much of its work gets done. University Avenue is also lined with major hospitals and university buildings, giving the stretch a civic, institutional character rather than a typical commercial strip.
