Clear Legal Advice for Strata Disputes, Rules and Compliance

Body corporate law in Queensland is governed by the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld), and understanding your legal obligations under this legislation is essential, especially when establishing, managing, or advising on a scheme.

We work with developers, committees, and body corporate managers across the Gold Coast to provide clear, strategic legal advice that aligns with the Act. 

From setting up new schemes to resolving disputes or reviewing governance frameworks, we’ll give you the legal clarity and direction you need.

Call us on ​​07 5526 0499 or book a free initial consultation to speak with a body corporate lawyer today.

Legal Support for Owners, Committees and Managers

Body corporate matters affect everyone differently. Whether you’re making decisions, enforcing them, or challenging them, we help you understand your rights and take the right legal steps.

Committee Members and Chairpersons

We advise on governance, meeting procedures, voting rights, and decision-making. If you’re unsure about your responsibilities or how to manage disputes, we’ll provide the legal clarity you need to protect your position and avoid liability.

Lot Owners in Disputes

If you’re being treated unfairly, disagree with a resolution, or are dealing with by-law enforcement, we’ll help you understand your rights and challenge decisions where appropriate. We act quickly to resolve issues through negotiation, mediation, or tribunal proceedings if needed.

Strata and Body Corporate Managers

We assist managers who need legal support when handling complex issues, enforcing rules, or advising difficult committees. We work alongside you to protect the owners’ corporation and reduce your legal risk.

Developers Establishing New Schemes

If you’re a developer setting up a new scheme, we’ll help you get it right from the start—drafting the rules, preparing disclosure documents, and structuring the body corporate so everything runs smoothly long after handover.
