Meet Brendan Pitman

Overview

Brendan is an experienced strata dispute and commercial litigation lawyer.

He has represented clients in mediations and conferences, appears in Federal and Queensland, New South Wales and Victorian Courts and Tribunals, and represents bodies corporate, lot owners, and caretakers in the Office of the Commissioner of Body Corporate and Community Management.

Brendan is passionate about the strata industry. His focus is on adding value by delivering considered advice with practical solutions.

Areas of expertise

Strata Disputes

Brendan has advised bodies corporate, lot owners and caretakers on exclusive use areas, bylaw enforcement, building management statements, debt recovery, utility infrastructure, maintenance responsibilities, accessing records, claims of privilege, policies of insurance, retaining walls and fences, enforcement of adjudicator orders, committee and general meeting issues, occupation authorities, fair work claims, termination matters, and many more.

Brendan has been engaged in numerous disputes about caretaking agreements by the caretaker, letting agent, building manager or body corporate, across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Those disputes require careful analysis of the terms of the agreement, the circumstances surrounding the events, compliance with any applicable regulations and the strategic selection of remedies to pursue.

Commercial Litigation

Brendan has represented individuals, companies, partners, bodies corporate and caretakers in matters involving defamation claims, leasing disputes and make good claims, misleading and deceptive conduct, partnership disputes, electricity disputes, appointment of a liquidator and receiver, debt disputes, costs assessments, and many more.

Brendan has conducted negotiations and settlements of these disputes and has also advised clients in more formal mediation conferences involving not just the disputing parties but impartial mediators. Brendan’s dispute resolutions skills extend over the entirety of the pre-litigation stage up to the commencement of court proceedings through to a trial.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
