Strata & Community Title

You’re for the community and we’re for you.

We assist Owners Corporations and Strata Committees to establish, implement, amend and manage the community’s common interest – including if things go a little astray.

The statutory imposition of limits on time and the engagement of legal services means it is crucial that you’re able to assess your position from the outset.

We understand the complexity of players involved and will advise you on your obligations to manage and prioritise those (sometimes conflicting) shareholdings.

From establishment to management of a dispute, we will advise you on:

  • drafting, enforcing, amending and consolidating by-laws and strata/community management statements;

  • building certificates and ongoing compliance;

  • development of lots, grants of right of use and registration of property interests including easements, leases, licences and restrictions on use;

  • title structuring;

  • drafting, negotiating and advising on service agreements and building management agreements;

  • drafting, reviewing and advising on building contracts at the tender stage;

  • building defects and debt recovery:

    • advice on resolving and managing building defects claims and debt recovery disputes;

    • dispute resolution, including mediation, commercial arbitration and expert determination;

    • Home Warranty Insurance claims;

    • statutory requirements– including instructing legal services, defects periods and commencing proceedings

  • debt recovery, disputes and litigation; and

  • advocacy and representation in all jurisdictions including the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal, Local, District and Supreme Courts.
