• Governing Document Amendments: Revising declarations of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws to maintain compliance with evolving Arizona statutes.
• Covenant Enforcement: Issuing formal violation notices, conducting compliance hearings, and obtaining injunctive relief in superior court against chronic non-compliant property owners.
• Board Governance and Annual Meetings: Advising on open meeting laws, quorum procedures, electronic voting protocols, and board director elections.
• Fiduciary Duty and Statutory Compliance: Shielding board directors from personal liability by ensuring strict adherence to the Arizona Planned Communities Act and Condominium Act.
