Welcome to the Youngling Law Firm.  

For more than 40 years, we have specialized in providing a full range of services to homeowner association clients.  We still enjoy providing pragmatic advice as general counsel on the day-to-day aspects of community life for our existing clients; however, we are also shifting our focus to drafting and updating Governing Documents. We are no longer taking on any new general counsel clients in that context.

We continue to use our experience as general counsel to well over 200 associations throughout the extended Bay Area in our approach to Governing Documents.

Our goal continues to be supporting and educating Directors on the myriad and ever-changing legal issues that confront community associations today. Toward that end, we enjoy providing Governing Documents - from rules and policies to Articles, Bylaws and CC&Rs - that anticipate real world problems and give Associations tools to deal with specific circumstances and the flexibility to nimbly address unexpected issues. We work to provide current Governing Documents that will assist associations in becoming proactive, thereby minimizing potential problems.

If you would like to explore updating your Governing Documents, let us know and we would be happy to review what you’ve got and provide a proposal.
