Talbots Law—Prayag Patel

Law firm appoints conveyancing solicitor

Prayag Patel, a renowned conveyancing solicitor, has recently joined Talbots Law.

In his 18 years with Premier Property Lawyers, which formed part of the original MyHomeMove and, more recently, the Simplify Group, Prayag (pictured, centre) saw his role grow from newly qualified solicitor to Head of Conveyancing, taking responsibility for the Leicester and Newcastle sites and doubling the size of his team in just five years at the helm.

He will now front Talbots Law’s national conveyancing department and new build teams, which will be based in a brand-new facility at The Waterfront.

Commenting on his appointment, Prayag said: 'It’s an incredibly exciting time to be joining Talbots and what impressed me most is the ambition of the team to build on the already incredibly high volume and quality of service we offer.

'I believe that my background in volume conveyancing positions me perfectly to lead this department into an exciting future and I’m thrilled to have a chance to play my part in it and emulate the success I’ve enjoyed in my previous role.'

Dave Hodgetts, CEO of Talbots Law, added his support: 'Prayag is a high-profile addition and his success to date speaks for itself. People are our greatest asset and we’re delighted to have such an excellent lawyer and leader joining our senior team.'
