Real estate plays a very important role in the modern business world. New companies need space to run their operations. Many startups and smaller organizations will rent or lease their operating space at first. Over time, a company may acquire different pieces of real estate. Some companies invest in real estate development for new facilities and operating space. Real estate disputes can arise from issues involving architects, builders, and government inspectors on new building projects. They can also arise when it comes to tax issues, liens, and lease, rental, or sale paperwork.
