Konstantine Paschalidis

Konstantine is a partner in the litigation group at KI Legal’s Wall Street office. His practice focuses on shareholder disputes and employment matters as well as non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants. With over fifteen years’ experience arguing and trying cases in both New York and New Jersey, Konstantine is a formidable advocate for his clients.

Outside of the courts, Konstantine is adept at resolving pre-suit matters and representing clients in mediation and arbitration. He has successfully represented clients in AAA matters and is equally proficient in an arbitration hearing as a courtroom trial. When ADR is unavailable, he strives to resolve disputes through direct negotiations with opposing counsel, building a straightforward, non-posturing rapport.

Konstantine serves a diverse client base, including individuals, business owners and medical professionals, balanced by small businesses, franchises, regional companies, and international corporations operating in the United States. His multifaceted approach to law and client service underscores his reputation as a leading attorney in his field, committed to achieving the best outcomes for his clients both in and out of the courtroom.

In addition to his legal practice, Konstantine is dedicated to guiding potential clients on avoiding litigation. He shares his experience by speaking at hospitality and medical conferences, lecturing at dental schools and taking part in related podcasts, offering valuable insights into preventive legal strategies.

At the Firm, he leads a team of talented litigators employing the Firm’s unique client-focused systemic approach to litigation developed with the heads of the transactional and real estate groups. This strategy involves cross-departmental collaboration, ensuring comprehensive legal support in and beyond litigation. Corporate attorneys provide insights on critical agreements, real estate attorneys review sale documents, and intellectual property attorneys assess key trademark filings, all contributing to a robust litigation strategy.

Konstantine's leadership and the Firm’s interdepartmental policy prioritize proactive client-centric service by ensuring that every aspect of a case is meticulously managed. His commitment to excellence and strategic advocacy makes him a trusted advisor and litigator for his clients.
