About Kagan Shastri DeMelo Winer Park LLP
Kagan Shastri DeMelo Winer Park LLP (KSDWP) came together on January 1, 2023, when Kagan Shastri LLP merged with Devine Park LLP. Kagan Shastri LLP had practised in Toronto since 1994; Devine Park LLP was founded in 2015. The merged firm kept a single office at 188 Avenue Road, in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood. It's a small firm: the lawyer and planner listings run to about a dozen names, including a retired Counsel and a retired Associate.
The firm's work centres on municipal and land use planning law: official plans, zoning by-laws, subdivision and site plan approvals, development charges, and appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal, alongside expropriations and aggregate licensing. It also handles civil and commercial litigation, commercial real estate and leasing, employment law, and estate planning. Novae Res Urbis has ranked KSDWP among Greater Toronto Area municipal law firms nearly every year since 2005, when it placed first; the firm placed sixth in 2023.
Founding partner Ira Kagan was called to the Ontario Bar in 1990 and received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025. Kagan has spoken at continuing legal education seminars and published on municipal law topics such as legal non-conforming uses. Founding partner Rahul Shastri, called to the bar in Ontario in 1992, received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. Shastri has taught civil litigation as part of the Law Society's Bar Admission course.
