Cowie Law Group, P.C. represents community associations. All of our attorneys regularly provide legal advice and legal representation to condominium and homeowners associations, which make up a large bulk of our clients.

Our Maryland and Washington DC condo and HOA law attorneys are actively involved in the advancement of community association interests. Nicholas D. Cowie advocates before the Maryland General Assembly in Annapolis to promote the enactment of legislation that protects the interests of condominium and homeowners associations.

Mr. Cowie drafted several pieces of legislation incorporated into the Maryland Condominium and HOA Acts that extend condominium and HOA warranty periods, protect the legal claims of associations and their members from unconscionable waiver provisions, and clarify what can be deemed a “common element” and a “unit.” Mr. Cowie regularly testifies, and organizes others to testify, before the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates, including in support of the law that now requires developers to turn over architectural drawings, financial records and other important documents and assets to condominium and homeowners associations no later than 30 days following transition from developer control. Mr. Cowie’s legal work before the Courts of Maryland has also resulted in the legal precedent that establishes the broad boundaries of the authority of a council of unit owners in Maryland to pursue legal matters affecting a condominium.
