Common Interest Development Legal Services

Common Interest Developments not only have laws specifically governing their operation and the rights and responsibilities of the association and the members, but are subject to many other laws and regulations covering a wide range of activities. Keeping an association operating within the law and responding to issues and disputes with members often needs legal advice from a lawyer who works with common interest development law every day. We provide general counsel services to common interest developments, including planned developments, residential condominiums, and commercial condominiums.

We represent over two hundred residential and commercial common interest developments, including both condominiums and planned developments large and small. We advise boards of directors to help them comply the complex web of laws that control operation of common interest developments. We assist boards of directors with interpretation and enforcement of governing documents, amendment and restatement of governing documents, drafting and implementation of rules and policies, contract review, and more. We represent our common interest development clients in litigation and alternative dispute resolution.

Our firm helps boards of directors meet their fiduciary duty to their associations and members by providing legal opinions on the rights and duties of the association and its members.
