Land Acquisition
Law Services
Land acquisition is a complex process involving the legal transfer of land ownership — often for development, public use, or commercial purposes. We assist clients through every step of the acquisition process with expert legal guidance.
Protecting Your Rights
in Land Transactions
Whether you are a landowner facing compulsory acquisition by the government, a developer acquiring land for a commercial project, or a corporate entity involved in industrial land acquisition — the legal complexities demand specialist expertise. At Memon & Co, our experienced land acquisition lawyers guide clients through every step of this process, ensuring fair treatment, adequate compensation, and legal compliance throughout.
We are well-versed in the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act) and its Maharashtra-specific provisions, as well as older acquisition frameworks that continue to apply to pending matters.
Government Acquisition Disputes
When the government acquires private land for public purposes, landowners have the right to fair compensation. We challenge inadequate compensation awards before the Land Acquisition Collector, Reference Courts, and the Bombay High Court — securing enhanced compensation, solatium, and interest for affected landowners.
