Association corporations matters in NSW

At Papallo Kouchoo we have acted for various Incorporated Associations constituted under the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 (NSW) in various circumstances, including in terms of provision of advice as to conduct of their affairs, in relation to their constitution, as well in large scale disputes in the various courts.

These kinds of associations are regulated under NSW Fair Trading and those charged with the overseeing of these corporations (‘office bearers’, ‘managers’ or ‘directors’) – many of which organisations are religious or other not-for-profit ones – need to be very careful in the way they conduct the organisation’s affairs and will need to do so as provided by the law and the regulations, including as to the proper conduct of meetings, AGMs and property related affairs of the association.

These associations require regular reporting and auditing and there are other requirements which need to be well catered for.

Disputes at times arise as between the members, and or between the members and the management committee of a particular association, and these can be very costly disputes.

Most office bearers need proper advice to ensure that all disputes are dealt with efficiently, properly and in accordance with the requirements of the law, legislation and regulations.

At Papallo Kouchoo Lawyers, we have significant experience in conducting these matters on behalf of the association itself or its members or managers.

At Papallo Kouchoo we understand the pressures of conducting the affairs of such not-for-profit entities, and we use best endeavours to help the management resolve the organisation’s problems with minimal legal and other expenses.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us for an obligation free professional consultation.
