Todd Garsden, Mahoneys

Our clients include some of the largest bodies corporate in Queensland and northern New South Wales, but our experience spans from Perth to Port Douglas. With extensive experience in this area, we understand the body corporate industry and how it has changed due to the rise of apartment living. We also understand how individual body corporate committees function. The team are experienced in dealing with issues that arise in regard to community title schemes. We know the risks inherent in the process and are adept at dealing with all types of situations. This gives our clients confidence that we will provide them with the best advice and advocacy in all body corporate and strata matters. Our lawyers have guided clients through all types of transactions and disputes in our years of practice. Todd is a regular contributor to LookUpStrata. You can take a look at Todd’s articles here .
