Our Team
Stratablox was established by Julian Louey, an admitted solicitor, former Judge’s Associate for a Vice President of VCAT and a highly experienced senior owners corporation manager. Julian holds qualifications in business and in law (B.Com LLB).
Julian’s personal experience as an owners corporation chairperson in a complex commercial owners corporation structure sparked a passion for strata, which became the catalyst for Julian’s career change from law to owners corporation management. As a full time senior strata manager and advisor to colleagues for some six years, there are not many strata challenges Julian has not come across.
The convergence of owners corporation issues with legal issues is frequent and having a manager that can assist you to proactively anticipate, navigate and solve problems will prove invaluable time and again. As a non-practicing solicitor, Julian is able to represent clients at VCAT as a professional advocate and has an excellent track record delivering successful outcomes for owners corporations at the Tribunal.
