        Verrill Partner Chris C. Tsouros Named Go To Lawyer by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

        Verrill Partner Chris C. Tsouros Named Go To Lawyer by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

        BOSTON, Mass. – Verrill Partner Chris C. Tsouros was selected by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as one of “Massachusetts Go To Commercial Real Estate Lawyers.”

        The attorneys featured on this list were nominated by their peers and selected by a panel at Lawyers Weekly. Launched in 2020, Massachusetts Go To Lawyers recognizes leading attorneys across the Massachusetts legal community.

        Tsouros advises developers, investors, entrepreneurs, corporations, and institutions—including colleges, professional sports franchises, nonprofits, start-ups, and public-private partnerships—on complex, high-profile real estate and business transactions. His work spans acquisitions, dispositions, financings, leasing, joint venture and project structuring, tax planning, and development entitlements at all levels of government, with transactions totaling billions of dollars. He also represents clients in significant real estate, partnership, joint ventures, and business disputes, successfully resolved through mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Across all matters, Tsouros combines strategic planning, sophisticated execution, and proven results.

        Recently, Tsouros led a team of Verrill real estate, permitting, and litigation attorneys to achieve a major milestone in the firm’s representation of Boston Legacy Football Club LLC in the development of White Stadium as the future home of Boston’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team. Tsouros and his team, worked jointly with counsel for the City of Boston, to secure a decisive trial victory when the Suffolk County Superior Court rejected all claims seeking to block a $200 million renovation of the stadium, clearing the way for construction and ensuring long-term community and Boston Public Schools benefits as well as 20 annual NWSL home games under a minimum ten-year lease beginning in 2026. This victory follows Verrill’s successful negotiation of comprehensive lease and stadium usage agreements with the City of Boston and Boston Public Schools, as well as a two-year RFP, permitting, and entitlement process with multiple City agencies that culminated in full municipal approvals for the project.

        Tsouros received his law degree from Boston College Law School, his master’s degree from Boston University School of Law, and his undergraduate degree from Tufts University.
