The Community Association Group at LP has been a recognized leader in the area of homeowner and condominium association law for over three decades. A one-stop shop for community associations, we help solve business problems from A to Z, including contract review, collections, employment issues, litigation, and governance advice. We also advise community associations on compliance with Illinois law. Our attorneys are also experienced with issues related to potential condominium deconversions.
