Advising and Assisting Associations and Property Managers
Condominium Law
CONDOMINIUM EXPERTS
We are experts in condominium law. We represent hundreds of associations throughout Massachusetts.
The management and operation of a condominium involves both legal and practical considerations. Managers and associations must not only comply with complex legal and regulatory requirements, they must also operate their buildings in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We have the knowledge and experience to help our clients do both.
ADVISING AND ASSISTING ASSOCIATIONS AND MANAGERS
Our attorneys have extensive experience representing property managers, associations, and developers in the formation, operation, and management of residential and commercial condominiums. We know and understand the Massachusetts Condominium Act (Chapter 183A) and the relevant case law. We are also intimately familiar with the nuances of condominium documents which enables us to provide prompt and accurate advice and counsel.
Associations and property managers are in constant need of advice and counsel from a trusted legal advisor. We know that our clients need prompt responses and clear and certain guidance so that they can make informed decisions and take immediate action. We pride ourselves on being a part of the management team.

Creation & Conversions
We represent clients in the creation and initial operation of condominiums and prepare all appropriate documents including Master Deeds, By-Laws, and Declarations of Trust. We also assist clients with condominium conversions.
Analysis & Amendments
- We help associations and managers to understand and comply with the Massachusetts Condominium Act and their condominium documents including the Master Deed, Declaration of Trust, and By-Laws. We also review and analyze condominium documents to ensure that they are up-to-date and help clients to develop, draft, and adopt necessary and proper amendments. We also assist clients in electing trustees and keeping all public records current and accurate.
Collections
- Accurate and timely notices are vital to collecting the fees to which an association is entitled and to taking advantage of the “super-lien” provisions of the Massachusetts Condominium Act. We work closely with associations and property managers to provide all legally required notices and to take all other actions necessary to collect outstanding fees, fines, and assessments.
Enforcement & Litigation
- We work closely with managers and trustees to proactively address violations of the condominium documents and the rules and regulations and other improper or disruptive conduct. If necessary, we commence appropriate legal action to ensure compliance. We also represent associations in all types of litigation including actions to collect unpaid condominium fees, fines, and assessments.
