Jeffrey A. Beaumont, a senior partner with Beaumont Gitlin Tashjian, has focused his entire legal career on representing common interest developments. His extensive experience and devotion to the community association industry have set Mr. Beaumont apart as a distinguished attorney.

Mr. Beaumont has successfully defended hundreds of community associations and their volunteer board members from multi-million dollar claims by securing defense verdicts from juries and obtaining settlements favorable to the firm’s clients. His extensive experience in litigation and insurance coverage allows Mr. Beaumont to guide the firm’s clients during the most challenging times. Mr. Beaumont has also obtained millions of dollars in recoveries for clients in complex litigation, ranging from construction and insurance bad faith to governing document enforcement actions.

In addition to his litigation successes, Mr. Beaumont has extensive experience in providing the firm’s clients and their boards of directors and managers with practical and concise advice on all issues impacting community associations, such as enforcement of governing documents, dispute resolution, contract negotiation, governance, interpretation and amending of governing documents, and risk assessment and avoidance.

Among his many accomplishments for his clients, Mr. Beaumont successfully defended a community association client and its board of directors and manager against personal injury claims from mold exposure by owners who alleged that the association and others failed to repair water leaks in a timely manner. The case was tried twice, based on claims of juror misconduct; Mr. Beaumont obtained a defense verdict for his client both times, with the owners taking nothing.

He is the 2012 President of the CAI Greater Los Angeles Chapter.
