Management
Management is the key to successful group living. Sound advice and skilled drafting is critical to the effective operation of any scheme. This is just as true for relationships between group members as it is for the arrangements entered into between group associations and other parties such as caretakers, managers, neighbours, service providers and prospective licensees. We provide a full range of services to help implement management decisions and facilitate the smooth running of any scheme including the following areas:
- General advice
- Meetings
- Caretaker agreements
- Management agreements
- Service contracts
- By-Laws
- O H & S
- Sales of management rights
- Sales of strata rolls
Building & Construction
We provide a full range of building services, both front end (contractual) and back end (dispute resolution) to developers, associations and owners. We draft documentation to facilitate a trouble free construction process but if a dispute does arise we can deal with the problem by bringing to bear a range of skills from expertise in alternative dispute resolution to outstanding litigation and advocacy talent.
- Building defect claims
- Home warranty insurance claims
- Building and construction litigation
- Alternative dispute resolution
- Drafting building contracts
- Security of payment claims
Litigation
Even in the best managed schemes and projects disputes will sometimes arise. Our expertise lies in the comprehensive range of skills of our litigators and a focus on winning the best result for our client. We have the skills to achieve that result through alternative dispute resolution or through litigation. Either way our team has a winning attitude dedicated to your success at all levels:
- Mediation
- Adjudication applications
- CTTT
- Federal, Supreme, District and Local Courts
- Injunctions and specific performance
Strata Disputes
Disputes within group title schemes can make life for occupants in the scheme intolerable. We bring our expertise to bear in helping individuals and associations resolve problems and issues. We can structure by-laws and rules to assist in harmonious living and bring to account those who refuse to do so.”
