Our History.
Constantinople & Vallone is grounded in the legacy of Speaker Peter Vallone Sr., the first-ever Speaker of the New York City Council and a foundational figure in the evolution of New York governance. His work helped shape the City's modern government and set a high standard for civic leadership that continues to influence today. As Speaker Vallone Sr. often said, “doing the right thing” was the cornerstone of his approach to leadership, and that principle continues to guide our firm today.
Bringing together Speaker Vallone Sr.’s deep institutional knowledge, political insight, and legacy of ethical governance with Tony Constantinople’s expertise in corporate finance and consulting, C&V was built on a foundation of complementary strengths. Our firm draws on the contributions of those who helped define New York City, led by a team with deep roots in both public service and the private sector. We don’t just understand the system—we helped shape it.
Today, our work remains driven by the same values that defined our founding: respect for tradition, a commitment to ethical public service, and the belief that lasting impact comes from experience and strong relationships.
