Stephen F. Madaus

Raised in a family with five attorneys, it was only natural that Stephen also developed a passion for the law. His background as an Assistant City Solicitor for the City of Worcester put his career on the trajectory of public and municipal law.

Stephen’s attention to client matters is backed by decades of experience. Clients turn to Stephen for his practical, strategic advice and cost-effective solutions. He provides counsel to clients in various areas of municipal law, including public bidding and procurement, the designer selection law, public construction, contracts, zoning, subdivision control law, eminent domain, the creation or discontinuance of public ways and the state’s conflict of interest law.

He represents both public and private owners in preparing, reviewing, and amending agreements for architect’s services, engineering services and contracts for permitting and constructing medium-size and large-scale projects. He also represents companies in applying for and obtaining Tax Increment Financing Agreements.

Well-known and respected throughout the community, Stephen serves as town counsel, special town counsel or deputy town counsel for four towns, two water districts and two school departments. He also regularly appears on behalf of clients before local planning boards, zoning boards of appeals and conservation commissions.
