Condominium / Community Association Representation

From the first set of documents to the day to day questions a board faces, MEEB attorneys advise boards of trustees, boards of directors and the property managers who work with them, and we handle the legal questions that come with running a community, from the governing documents and the rules to collections, contracts, financing and disputes.

How MEEB Helps Associations

  • Condominium Documents and Amendments

    Drafting master deeds, declarations of trust and bylaws, and amending older documents so they reflect current law and how the community actually operates.

  • Rules and Enforcement

    Writing clear, enforceable rules and regulations, and enforcing them fairly when owners or tenants do not comply.

  • Governance, Meetings and Elections

    Guidance on board authority, owner meetings, quorum, voting and elections, and responding to owner requests for records.

  • Common Expense Collections

    Enforcing the association's lien for unpaid common charges, with a collection program designed to keep costs predictable. Click here to learn more about our lien enforcement practice.

  • Developer Transition

    Protecting the association as control passes from the developer to the owners, including common area defects and the community's starting finances.

  • Contracts and Vendors

    Negotiating and reviewing management, maintenance, construction and service contracts so the association's interests are protected.

  • Association Bank Loans

    Helping associations finance repairs and capital improvements, from approvals under the governing documents to the loan documents themselves.

  • Land Acquisition and Sale

    Buying, selling and conveying association land and rights, including withdrawing undeveloped land and handling unused development rights.

  • Litigation

    Representing associations as plaintiffs and defendants when a dispute cannot be resolved any other way. Click here for more information about our litigation capabilities.

Marcus, Errico, Emmer & Brooks, P.C. has represented condominium and homeowner associations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Maine since 1993. We advise boards of trustees, boards of directors and the property managers who work with them, and we handle the legal questions that come with running a community, from the governing documents and the rules to collections, contracts, financing and disputes.

Our goal is to help boards avoid problems where possible, and to manage the ones that cannot be avoided. Litigation is sometimes essential, but we treat it as a last resort. We stay close to the issues boards face through our work with industry groups and our contact with association professionals across the country, and we share what we learn through our newsletter, seminars and webinars.
