Working with a lawyer is not only about their understanding of the law but the ideal relationship requires your lawyer to also offer practical and pragmatic advice. Additionally, it is important for your lawyer to be contactable and to understand your risk profile with regards to the matter being dealt with. In my dealings with Mark and his team at Boss Lawyers, I have found all of the above to be true.

I am the treasurer of a body corporate that has engaged Boss Lawyers for advice on legal issues in relation to management rights and what the committee considered to be breaches of the caretaking agreement. I believe that the advice from Boss Lawyers on both a strategic and legal level has ended up producing an outcome for our scheme that is far more palatable to that which we would otherwise have had. I can recommend Boss Lawyers to any body corporate with similar issues. Emmanuel Sarris, Treasurer The Wellington Body Corporate for East Brisbane
