Strata Management
No business is harder than strata management. Every problem in the building becomes the strata manager's problem.
To manage strata schemes effectively, you need ready access to specialised legal advice and services, from lawyers who not only understand the law and procedure, but who know how to achieve an effective result with the minimum of expense and delay.
The specialist strata lawyers at Somerville Legal understand the complexities of strata and community title laws and regulations. They can provide advice at short notice, and are able to achieve results through the Department of Fair Trading's mediators, adjudicators and Tribunal. Somerville Legal's strata team also conducts litigation through the courts, from collecting unpaid strata levies in the Local Courts, to resolving complex disputes through the District and Supreme Courts.
We act for a wide variety of Strata Law clients including many of the leading strata management firms in the state, builders and developers and individual lot owners. We also act directly for many strata schemes, and for some of the largest community schemes in Sydney.
Our philosophy is to remain focused on our client's goals and outcomes. Some strata scheme lawyers run their practice like a factory. But, at Somerville Legal, we treat each assignment individually and never lose sight of the goals of the client. Each is under the personal supervision of a lawyer who understands the client's goal, and personally works to achieve it.
We attend strata meetings outside business hours if required.
