Land & Conveyance
The laws governing land, conveyance, property ownership and development require lawyers to have a dynamic approach to transactions. The growth of banking and mining sectors, increase in private and public land use in the past two decades we witnessed rapid legislative change which has swept the property market, affecting planning and development, land use, tenant debt, banking, mortgage financing, public services, transfer duties and deeds registration, among others. In this case we work closely with other practice areas to provide the most complete service, for example, Corporate & Commercial, Banking & Finance and Mining, Mineral & Energy. This calls for property developers, investors, commercial landlords or tenants to acquaint themselves with these laws and this is possible only with the help of our land lawyers who are keen to complete transactions in expeditious and advantageous way possible for our clients.
