Body Corporate claims can be complex, involving multiple owners and occupiers, common and individual property, competing priorities and specific governance and legislative requirements.

Our dedicated Body Corporate team understands these complexities and provides specialist technical expertise from instruction through to settlement. We understand the interaction between policy coverage, ownership structures, Body Corporate governance, reinstatement responsibilities and Natural Hazards Insurance considerations, working with the Natural Hazards Commission where required.

Our focus is on identifying the key issues early and establishing a clear claims strategy. This includes determining responsibilities, coordinating the parties involved, prioritising mitigation and developing reinstatement approaches that minimise disruption and preserve occupancy wherever possible.

We work closely with insurers, brokers, Body Corporate committees and managers, owners, occupiers, contractors and consultants to maintain clear communication and keep claims progressing towards resolution.
