The firm provides by-law drafting, updating, registering, and consolidating services for strata schemes, body corporates, and owners corporations across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory. Its registered legal entities are Kemps Peterson Pty Ltd (ABN 28 001 201 887) and Kemps Petersons (Vic) Pty Ltd (ABN 73 005 566 834), with a headcount of 6 employees and a headquarters at Level 27, 66-68 Goulburn Street, Sydney.

The firm's business model is engagement-based professional services with no publicly disclosed pricing; customers request quotes through online forms or free consultations.

The sister entity Kemps Petersons Receivables handles debt recovery, creating an integrated legal-and-financial offering within the PICA Group ecosystem. Marketing channels include the PICA Group website, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and email newsletter, targeting strata owners, committees, property developers, and body corporate entities. No proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, or API offerings are disclosed — the firm relies on human legal expertise rather than technology differentiation.
