Why Construction, Contracting & Real Estate Companies Need This Legal Role
In Bahrain’s construction, contracting, and real estate sectors, leasing is more than just a transaction it’s an operational necessity and a legal obligation. Companies lease project sites, storage yards, labor camps, commercial offices, and residential units for resale or sublease. Each lease carries risk, regulatory requirements, and financial exposure.
When lease agreements are poorly drafted, unregistered with RERA, or contain vague obligations, they can lead to serious legal problems including financial loss, forced eviction, regulatory penalties, or operational shutdowns. That’s why companies in these sectors need a specialized landlord and tenant lawyer who understands not just real estate law, but the business environment they operate in.
Here's why this legal role is critical:
Industry-Specific Leasing
Needs
Construction and contracting companies lease large,
high-value spaces with unique usage terms. Real estate developers
lease mixed-use units and handle tenant portfolios. We ensure every
lease is legally secure and commercially sound.
Strict RERA
Compliance
Leases over one year must be registered with
RERA. Our legal oversight prevents your agreements from being
declared unenforceable avoiding major financial and legal
consequences.
Dispute Management and
Eviction Protection
When disputes arise over rent,
maintenance, breach, or eviction we act quickly to protect your
company’s position before the Rent Disputes Committee or civil
courts.
Public and Government
Leases
Many construction companies lease from government
entities. These agreements require precision, approvals, and
compliance with strict conditions. We handle all communications and
documentation.
High-Frequency Leasing in
Development Projects
Real estate developers often manage
hundreds of leases across towers, malls, or housing projects. We
support these companies with standardized contracts, renewal
systems, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
