Some of the most profitable investments in the world are in the construction and real estate industries. Both industries cover many aspects of property management such as development, leasing, appraisal, marketing and management of commercial, residential, agricultural and industrial properties.
The two (2) industries have become complex following the enactment of many new legislations, particularly, the Land Act, 2020, Act 1036 and the Real Estates Agency Act, 2020 Act 1047. The revolutionisation of the legal regime requires the best legal support to be able to navigate and harness the optimum potential of the industries.
