At MBA Lawyers, we have assembled the most experienced and well-respected body corporate and management rights lawyers in the country.

Unique expertise rarely seen at other firms…

What sets us apart from other firms is our unique expertise in dealing with various community living legislation, including the Building Units and Group Titles Act (BUGTA), Integrated Resort Development Act (IRA), and Sanctuary Cove Resort Act (SCRA) or various interstate acts, in addition to the standard Body Corporate and Community Management Act and associated regulation modules. These specialised areas of law require a deep understanding, and our firm is proud to possess the necessary knowledge and experience related to these statutes which places us as expert legal advisors to assist clients in these areas.

Having been at the forefront of the management rights industry since its inception, we have represented numerous management rights operators in both purchases and sales. Whether you are a small scheme operator, partnership or a publicly listed company in the management rights industry, our team is dedicated to providing you with timely, practical, and experienced advice.
