We
Know the Day to Day Workings of Associations
Every
day, you’re faced with dozens of decisions that impact the quality
of your community. NORTH|Law has a team of experienced and
knowledgeable attorneys, paralegals and support staff available to
counsel associations regarding the corporate, real estate and business
matters that regularly arise.
The
solid litigation background of the Firm provides us with unique insight
and experience when counseling clients on community association issues.
Many boards of director decisions require an understanding of the
parameter of rights afforded to an association under the terms of
its governing documents. Importantly, the Texas state legislature
has, over the years, granted to you far greater legal rights than
may be apparent from the face of your governing documents. Drawing
from our expertise, our attorneys draft and modify both corporate
and governing documents with an understanding of potential litigation
issues and a current knowledge of new statutory law which affects
you. Understanding your objectives and creating a path through which
your goals may be accomplished is an important part of our relationship
with you.
We
Speak Your Language
The
team at NORTH|Law is different. We make it easy for you to
work with us because we know your business and speak your language.
The following are just a few of the things that we do every day to
help associations run more effectively:
-
Interpreting
governing documents: declarations of covenants, conditions, and
restrictions, the articles of incorporation, and the bylaws of
the association.
-
Answering
day to day questions regarding operational, governance, practical
and legal issues.
-
Reviewing
and drafting contracts for the maintenance, repair, and operation
of the community.
-
Amending
governing documents to eliminate obsolete provisions and to modernize
your documents in order to conform to the current needs of your
community.
-
Insuring
compliance with applicable federal laws (Fair Housing Act, Telecommunication
Act, etc), as well as similar state and local statutes and ordinances.
-
Assisting
the board of directors on fiscal matters such as budgeting, service
fees, special assessments, and establishing reserves.
-
Providing
legal counsel regarding board member fiduciary duties and safeguards
to reduce your risk of liability.
