Panelists
Laurie Kiedrowski, Partner, McLeod Law LLP
In her work at McLeod Law, Laurie represents both condominium corporations and developers. She advises corporations on governance issues and helps developers ensure their contracts are enforceable and supported by marketing materials that are compliant with recently amended consumer protection legislation.
Laurie is particularly proud of Stagg v. Condominium Plan No. 882 2999, frequently cited case law. In that case she acted for homeowners against a condominium board to win a $75,000 judgment for legal costs. “This case sends a clear message that condominium boards must comply with the law,” she says, “and homeowners needn’t acquiesce when boards behave badly.” Law has indeed given Laurie a voice.
