Turner Padget Launches Community Associations Blog

COLUMBIA, SC – May 14, 2012 – Turner Padget Graham & Laney, P.A. announced the launch of its first blog, aimed at providing perspective regarding the complex legal issues impacting Community Associations and Private Clubs. The blog, which can be accessed at www.turnerpadget.com/blog/show/community-associations-blog, will be updated by the firm’s community association lawyers in an effort to serve as a resource for information related to issues faced by associations, their boards of directors and management companies.

Community associations have always faced unique legal challenges, explains Shawn Willis, the Turner Padget attorney who spearheads the blog. However, our current economic climate raises a host of additional legal issues that we hope to address in this forum. We will keep our followers up-to-date on a variety of topics, including legislation, case studies, local and national trends, and other legal developments affecting associations.

Turner Padget’s Community Associations and Private Clubs attorneys routinely represent large, medium and small community associations and private clubs in their formation, governance and operation, including, but not limited to: advising officers and boards of directors and property managers on governance issues, including fiduciary duties, ARB issues, and preparation and revision of covenants, master deeds and bylaws; defending of directors in litigation; developer turnover and defective design/construction disputes; real estate development and financing; leases, management and other contracts; taxation; employment law; environmental matters, land use planning; miscellaneous litigation; and collections.
