Our Services

At Pursiano we deliver comprehensive legal services to Community Associations. Our experience encompasses governance, compliance, dispute resolution, and construction defect litigation, with a strong emphasis on turnover processes. We represent associations in every facet of association law, dedicated to ensuring smooth operations, safeguarding members’ interests, and preserving the integrity and value of their properties.

Association Turnover

Pursiano assists associations in preparing for turnover from developer control to owner control, including reviewing financial records, governing documents, and maintenance histories. We facilitate and guide turnover meetings to ensure a smooth and compliant transition and provide ongoing support and legal counsel to newly formed homeowner-controlled boards during the critical post-turnover phase.

Governance and Bylaws

At Pursiano, we have extensive experience drafting and amending governing documents, including bylaws, declarations, and covenants. Our services ensure these documents reflect current needs and legal requirements. We provide guidance on conducting board meetings, member meetings, and elections in compliance with statutory requirements, and develop policies to address common issues like maintenance responsibilities and architectural control.

Compliance and Regulatory Matters

We ensure associations comply with all relevant state and federal laws, including Florida Statutes Chapters 718, 719, and 720, as well as the Fair Housing Act. Our services include assistance with regulatory filings and advising on compliance with health and safety regulations, such as fire codes and accessibility standards.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Our team represents associations in various litigation matters, including construction defects, contract disputes, and insurance claims. We assist in drafting rules and regulations as well as enforcing them against non-compliant members, ensuring the association’s legal interests are protected and disputes are resolved efficiently.

Financial and Assessment Matters

Pursiano provides comprehensive advice on budgeting, reserve funding, and financial planning to comply with your governing documents and both state and local legal requirements. We assist with assessment collection, pursuing delinquencies, and foreclosures when necessary.

Contract Review and Vendor Management

We review, negotiate, and draft contracts with vendors, service providers, and contractors to protect the association’s interests. Our team also resolves disputes with vendors, ensuring the association receives quality services as contracted, and assist with vendor relationships to maintain service standards.

Construction and Maintenance

We represent associations in claims against developers and contractors for construction defects, utilizing our expertise to formulate repair scopes and present evidence in trials. We advise on maintenance responsibilities, ensuring compliance with warranty obligations and building codes to maintain the property’s structural integrity and safety.

Insurance and Risk Management

Our services include reviewing insurance policies to ensure adequate coverage for property and liability needs, assisting with filing and managing insurance claims, and resolving disputes with insurers. We conduct risk assessments and advise on loss prevention strategies to minimize potential liabilities and ensure comprehensive risk management.

Education and Training

We provide board certification classes and training sessions for board members on their roles, responsibilities, and best practices to ensure effective governance. Additionally, we educate association members on their rights and responsibilities under governing documents and applicable laws, fostering a well-informed and cooperative community.
