‘He’s Coming Home – Welcome Back, Pardeep!
After two years away, we’re delighted to say that Pardeep Kandola is rejoining the Askews Legal LLP family as our new Head of Residential Property, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome him back into the fold. That’s right he’s ‘coming home’.
When Pardeep first decided to spread his wings a couple of years ago, it felt a bit like waving your child off to university. There’s a slight sadness in seeing them go, but you know they need to experience new things, learn about life, and explore different horizons. And just like those returning students, Pardeep has come back to us with new experiences, a fresh perspective… and thankfully, no mountain of dirty laundry!
It’s often said that sometimes you have to step away to realise that “the grass isn’t always greener.” While Pardeep’s journey took him elsewhere for a time, it ultimately reinforced a powerful truth: the dynamic and forward-looking culture we’re building here at Askews Legal is unique and incredibly valuable.
A New Way to Approach Conveyancing
Pardeep’s return isn’t just a simple team announcement; it’s a strategic move that perfectly aligns with our vision for the future of the legal sector. His new role as Head of Residential Property is all about creating a new way of doing conveyancing, one that is agile and supportive.
Crucially, Pardeep will not be holding his own frontline caseload. His focus is entirely on our people and our process. This is a commitment to reinvesting in our team and our future. He’ll be working across Askews Legal and our associated firms, Cocks Lloyd and Smalleys, supporting all our lawyers, paralegals, and assistants.
Pardeep’s mission is clear, and it resonates with our core values of transparency and commitment:
- Human-Centred Technology: Using modern technology to drive efficiency without losing the essential, human touch.
- Nurturing the Next Generation: Dedicated time for mentoring, guidance, and training the property lawyers of tomorrow.
- Prioritising Culture: Creating a safe, supportive, and truly valued workspace where work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword. We firmly reject the idea of “factory-style conveyancing.”
- Technical Support over the Bottom Line: Providing genuine, proper technical support to ensure quality service for our clients, rather than simply chasing a profit.
We’re thrilled to welcome Pardeep back. He still knows where his desk is (mostly), his login miraculously still works, and his colleagues are ready to pick up exactly where we left off.
Here’s to familiar faces, fresh starts, and the comfort of knowing that home was always right here. Welcome back, Pardeep – we always knew your story with us wasn’t finished.
