Real Estate Legal Practice is Lucrative, Here’s Why


The real estate industry has been one of the most prominent pillars of the Indian economy. With a contribution of close to 6-8% to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it stands second in terms of employment generation. The sector has been at the cusp of transformation with policy changes, fall-out of funding agencies and their subsequent cautiousness towards residential projects, developers experimenting with new sectors and offerings, etc. 

According to data released by the India Brand Equity Foundation, which is a government trust, by 2025, the country’s real estate sector is expected to contribute 13 per cent of the country’s GDP. By 2030, it is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion. Without relying on any more numbers, it would suffice to say that lawyers feed off such a healthy industry and a lavish five-course meal sort of feed off, at that.

As regards the changes brought in by the Real Estate Regulation Act, the long-term prospects of these changes are pegged as positive. This expected growth surely spells good news for all lawyers—big and small—in the industry. Plus, the ecosystem is a lot more trustworthy now, thereby reassuring real estate purchasers and investors.

With the new year seeming promising for the real estate industry, it is time that the legal industry working for the real estate sector also buckles up. 

Expertise in certain areas-- such as land acquisition and approval, project development and redevelopment, private equity and investment in real estate, real estate joint ventures, title search and due diligence, documentation and registration, mortgage and mortgage loan auditing-- is a must.

Running a Business can be Stressful

Running a business in India can be extremely stressful and challenging. In fact, a study on entrepreneurial well- being by ASCENT Foundation and Mariwala Health Initiative recently found that nearly 8% of younger entrepreneurs and 6% of older entrepreneurs who are in family-owned businesses have had suicidal thoughts. Majority of the study participants said they experienced anxiety, confusion, irritability and frustration sometimes during their entrepreneurial journey.  The study, which received response from 186 entrepreneurs (of family run businesses and new age entrepreneurs) from the ASCENT cohort, between the age group of 20 to 60 years, showed that stress due to financial cash flows, fear of failure and disagreements with partners or family members are the top stressors, irrespective of their age and years in business . Add to this the cumbersome documentation and paperwork to be taken care of at every step of the process. All these hurdles function as impediments for ent

Only the Best Real Estate Law Firms Can Inspire Confidence in Such High-Worth Transactions

Real estate is one of the fastest growing sectors in India, with assertions of it being on an upward trajectory after witnessing significant developments over the past one and a half years. The sector is set to reap the benefits of the reforms which began in May, 2016 with the notification of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). RERA has since enhanced investor confidence, paving way for more structure and transparency in the sector. Further, the rolling out of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) has been claimed to bring more clarity in the process, by clubbing many different taxes into one. The combined effect of all these reforms has been an increase in real estate transactions involving buying, selling, leasing and financing of properties. However, the increase in these transactions has also led to an enhanced understanding of the risks involved while undertaking such arrangements. It is at this stage of identifying and minimizing the risks that a re

Hopes High for Investment Lawyers 

India has jumped 14 places to rank 63rd out of 190 countries in the World Bank's Doing Business 2020 report on account of significant improvement in resolving insolvency and obtaining construction permits. This is a major development, considering the fact that the government has been focusing on targeting to take India among the top 50 in the ease of doing business ranking. Explaining that the government was working on policies to promote inflows from domestic as well as foreign sources to achieve this vision, the PM stressed that the "policies are not designed to get some short-term benefit out of transient disruptions" being seen around the world. Instead, the government is focused on improving India's competitiveness through long-term reform measures such as steps towards improving the ease of doing business rankings, tax reforms with lowering of tax rates and simplifying procedures, labor sector reforms to encourage formalization and FD
