About Drudi Alexiou Kuchar LLP

Drudi Alexiou Kuchar LLP is a litigation-only firm on Yonge Street in Toronto, founded in 1993 by a group of trial lawyers who wanted to limit their practice to advocacy before the courts and tribunals of Ontario. Founding partner Marco Drudi earned an economics degree from York University in 1982 and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1985, and was called to the Ontario bar in 1987. Founding partner Constantine Alexiou holds an honours BA from the University of Toronto and a law degree from the University of Windsor, and was called to the bar in 1989. Ten lawyers now practice at the firm.

The firm's work is organized around six litigation areas: construction, commercial, property, estate, mortgage and employment disputes. Its construction practice covers lien claims, labour and material bond claims and breach of trust claims, moving through adjudication, mediation, arbitration or trial as needed. On the estate side, lawyers there handle will challenges, contested passing of accounts, dependant support claims and capacity disputes. The employment practice acts for both employers and employees, in wrongful dismissal, severance and human rights matters. The firm describes its own approach as helping clients avoid disputes first, then resolving what remains through negotiation, mediation or, when necessary, litigation.
