We are incredibly grateful to Frank Higginson at Hynes Legal for his expert assistance in successfully securing a top-up to our existing caretaking agreement with the Body Corporate. Frank has been our trusted legal advisor for over 10 years, consistently providing us with knowledgeable, strategic guidance on caretaking extensions and other legal matters that have positively impacted our strata community.
Frank’s diligence, personable approach, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best outcomes are second to none. No matter the complexity of the issue, nothing is ever too much trouble. We highly value his expertise and would not hesitate to recommend Frank and the team at Hynes Legal to anyone seeking professional, dependable legal support in the strata sector.
I engaged Hynes Lawyers to act for me in the sale of my management rights business. I can honestly say that they were an absolute delight to deal with . They were so professional and always covered any concerns straight away. A special mention to Tim Paroz who sorted out a few minor concerns before they got out of hand. I would highly recommend them to any one in the management rights business.
we engaged Frank, Tom and the team at Hynes to assist with the sale of our MR building ARIA in central Broadbeach. Nothing seemed too hard for them to help with. I would strongly recommend Hynes for anyone looking to sell their MR business....
In 2017, we engaged Hynes Legal as our legal representative for our initial Management Rights business. Throughout the years, they have provided us with unwavering assistance in addressing all of our legal concerns. Frank and Tim at Hynes legal are exceptional in the industry, and we are highly satisfied with their services.
When contacting Frank about a Pet By-Law matter whereby animals had to be carried in a pet carrier across all common property and not allowed to go through the foyer his response was 'I haven't lost one of these yet....'. However after paying the $1600 and Hynes Legal providing the advice to the Body Corporate the body corporate mostly ignored it. I contacted Frank to ask him if he 'would count this as your first loss?' he never responded. I emailed him again to ask for 'some communication as to why my outcome was so different to your past experience' and again he never responded. Quite disappointing.
Great experience! Frank is extremely knowledgeable and always had all the answers. Tim was great to deal with and very fast at responding. We are glad we've chosen Hynes Legal and can't wait to deal with them again!
I was selling my management Rights and had to Pay the Body Corporate Legal expenses who appointed Hynes Legal I found that they took the maximum amount of time required under the statutory rules and charged me double the price quoted for some minor issues which could have been resolved easily had they been motivated to do so

Although we've known and dealt with Frank Higginson and Hynes in various ways for some time now, it was only about a year ago that we had a need for their services.
We were using another solicitor for a management rights purchase in what seemed like a simple matter of little complexity. That solicitor, through no fault of their own, was suddenly unable to complete the transaction and literally on the day we were supposed to go unconditional, we found ourselves with several issues yet concluded. We urgently called Frank to see if he could help.
Anybody with any experience in the QLD management rights industry knows Hynes reputation for efficiency, thoroughness and practical, commercially-driven advice and in our case, at short notice and much yet to do, Frank and team were exceptional.
The due diligence process conducted by Hynes was extremely thorough and their report excellent. Hynes' investigations brought things to light that ultimately resulted in a substantial renegotiation of the terms that have benefited not only us but the vendor as well.
Hynes has now represented us in several matters and in every case, the advice and service delivery have exceeded expectations. We would not consider using any other law firm.
Frank and the Hynes Legal team helped us a lot on the management rights. Five Stars! You will never regret to have Frank

Before purchasing our management rights business over a year and half ago, some of our close friends who have worked in the industry highly recommended us to contact Frank for legal assistance. We did and we felt so happy that we made the right decision not only because Frank is one of the top legal specialists in the industry with richest skills and knowledge, but also that he and his team worked hard for us and were very responsive.
