Employee-owned law firm earn national conveyancing award

Employee-owned law firm Talbots Law has been named Conveyancing Firm of the Year -Midlands & Wales at the British Conveyancing Awards 2026, held in Manchester.

The award recognises excellence in residential conveyancing and highlights the achievements of firms delivering outstanding legal services to homebuyers and sellers across the region.

Talbots Law’s property team supports tens of thousands of people each year with buying and selling homes across England and Wales, combining legal expertise with a proactive and client-focused approach to managing transactions.

The award judges praised firms demonstrating high standards of service, innovation and commitment to improving the conveyancing experience for clients.

The firm has now won this award in consecutive years, alongside finalist shortlisting for national New Build Conveyancing Team of the Year.

While the award specifically recognises the firm’s conveyancing specialists, Talbots Law says the achievement reflects the collective effort of colleagues across the business.

Delivering a successful property transaction relies on collaboration between legal teams and support functions, alongside a strong culture focused on service, efficiency and client care.

The collaboration focuses on the use of artificial intelligence to review leases and generate clear insights for legal professionals, helping to streamline elements of the legal process while maintaining high levels of accuracy.

CEO Dave Hodgetts said: “This is a testament to the quality and dedication of our team, both in our property department and across all of our support functions that make the work possible.

“It is a privilege to see their dedication rewarded on the national stage and I’d like to say a huge well done to each and every one of them.”

Talbots Law is one of the largest property law providers in the region, supporting more than 40,000 people every year with buying and selling homes across England and Wales.
