NSW strata law has undergone significant reform, with changes affecting owners’ rights, strata governance, building maintenance and the responsibilities of those managing strata schemes.

Further legislative changes passed Parliament in October 2026, making it important for practitioners to understand how the evolving legal framework affects real-world decisions and disputes. Join Anna Minassian, Principal at Vinc Legal, for this practical one-hour Lunch and Learn exploring the disputes, decisions and legal responsibilities shaping strata practice. Gain insights into common sources of conflict, who may be responsible when things go wrong, and practical approaches to resolving issues before they escalate.

In this session, Anna will explore:

• Who is responsible? Navigating liability between owners’ corporations, strata managers, lot owners and committees.
• Disputes that escalate: Common flashpoints involving renovations, defects, noise, by-laws and competing owner interests.
• The changing legal landscape: Recent decisions and regulatory developments reshaping strata obligations and dispute resolution.
• Practical strategies for resolution: Managing conflict, reducing legal risk and identifying when formal proceedings may be necessary.

At the end of this live webinar, you will earn 1 CPD point.
