Management Rights Law

Management rights is an industry like no other — and your business deserves advice that’s as tailored as it is practical. To maximise your commercial advantage, you need legal support that truly understands the industry.

With decades of experience and thousands of management rights transactions behind us, we provide considered, responsive and effective advice at every stage.

But management rights isn’t just about contracts and settlements — it’s about people. Many disputes from misunderstandings or poor communication. That’s why our approach is collaborative, aiming to resolve issues early and at minimal cost. We want managers and bodies corporate to see themselves as partners in protecting and improving their building.

Education is at the heart of what we do. We don’t just provide legal documents — we empower clients with clear explanations, practical strategies, and the confidence to make informed decisions. Whether buying or selling, we guide you through the legal complexities so you can focus on growing and protecting your investment.

Our commitment is to the betterment of the management rights industry to educate and empower all stakeholders with the right information for their needs.

Over the past decade, we have seen a resounding number of disputes arise, often due to misinformation or legal advisers not acting in the best interest of their clients. 

Whether you are an onsite/resident manager or body corporate, the one thing you both have in common is the building. People may come and go, but the building remains.  Our goal is to foster understanding and collaboration, rather than an “us versus them” mindset.  

We focus on identifying the real concerns of clients to ensure advice is practical, tailored, and ultimately benefits the building and its community.
