The multilayered structures of condominiums and other common interest or planned community developments are complex and often not intuitive. Regardless of the scale of a project, clients can benefit immensely from experienced and knowledgeable counsel to provide guidance on their obligations and objectives as a developer, investor, or owner, as the case may be.
For developers, concerns may arise as to a project’s compliance with the laws that govern the use and development of a piece of real estate, or the creation and proper registration of a condominium or subdivision development. From the standpoint of an owner or potential purchaser, questions often emerge as to their rights and responsibilities under the governing documents of a given project.
At Cades Schutte, we understand the legal framework that governs these types of developments and how it fits in with the practical considerations necessary to achieve a client’s goals. Our attorneys offer a comprehensive base of knowledge and expertise in the field and are well-equipped to advise on the full range of issues that may surface in this area of the law.
