Pelham Strata Lawyers prides itself in being focused finding commercially sound solutions to the problems and issue it is asked to advise on. It is our practice to ask two questions at the beginning of every matter.

1. What is your problem?

2. What do you want us to achieve for you?

The answers to these questions allow us to advise on whether your problem can be resolved in the manner desired. There is no point in our view of conducting a matter where we cannot achieve the solution desired.

Being a strata lawyer requires more than just knowing the Owners Corporations Act 2006 and Owners Corporations Regulations 2018 exist, it requires your lawyer to understand and appreciate how the following areas of law affect and apply to every decision of an Owners Corporation:

1. property law, including the Subdivision Act, Retail Leases Act, Domestic Building Contracts Act, Property Law Act and Transfer of Land Act;

2. commercial law and understanding what an arms length contract is when the developer sets up a building with an Owners Corporation;

3. the privacy principles as they apply to Owners Corporations and their managers in Victoria; and

4. dispute resolution and contested litigation through VCAT and the Supreme Court of Victoria.
