A Condominium or Home Owners Associations are no different than a small to medium sized business or even a mini-government. Associations have elected officials, they conduct business with outside entities, deal with constituents, and unfortunately (every once in a while) they become involved in disputes.
Associations are often forced to resolve disagreements with unit owners, contractors, management companies, and even local governments. Whenever these disputes arise, your association should have an experienced and well qualified law firm to represent its interests.
