Virtual appointmentsVirtual appointmentsAbout Presvelos Law
Presvelos Law Professional Corporation is a Toronto civil litigation firm run by two lawyers, Sam A. Presvelos and Evan A. Presvelos, from an office in the city's Financial Core. The firm takes on corporate, real estate, construction, employment, professional liability, and expropriation disputes, and its lawyers have appeared at every level of court in Ontario as well as before the Federal Court of Canada.
Sam Presvelos studied at Osgoode Hall Law School, where academic prizes were awarded for coursework in real estate and corporate law, then articled at McCarthy Tetrault LLP before starting an independent practice. Post Magazine named Presvelos among Toronto's Top 100 Lawyers in 2021 and 2022. Evan Presvelos studied at the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law on a Blake, Cassels & Graydon entrance scholarship, then worked as corporate counsel negotiating multi million dollar transactions for multinational companies before moving into litigation. Evan Presvelos now sits on the board of directors of Ontario's Home Construction Regulatory Authority, appointed for a term running to April 2028.
The firm describes its approach as pairing courtroom experience with a leaner, more modern service model: speak with a lawyer, build a practical action plan, then pursue whatever route gets the client to resolution fastest, in or out of court.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Presvelos Law's office sits at the corner of Adelaide Street West and York Street, in Toronto's Financial Core, a district described by commercial listings as home to the largest concentration of corporate headquarters in the country, along with Canada's major banks and national law firms. That's a fitting backdrop for a firm built around corporate, real estate, and construction litigation: many of the institutions its clients deal with, or square off against, sit within a few blocks. The building connects into the PATH and sits close to the retail strips of King West and Queen West, so clients coming from elsewhere in the financial district or by transit have an easy route in.
