Mira Patel

Trainee Solicitor

I am a Trainee Solicitor at Crane & Staples. I joined the firm in September 2024 and am currently in my first seat in the Employment and Dispute Resolution Department.

I graduated with my law degree from University of Leicester in 2020 and completed my LLM Legal Practice Course in 2021 with a distinction.

I enjoy working in the legal sector as I can guide people through difficult situations and work towards a better outcome.

Outside the Office

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, going to the gym and going on walks with my dog.

The team are friendly, professional and will go the extra mile for their clients. Simply put, nothing is too much trouble. The chemistry of the team pulling together is unique and is a joy to behold.

You were always refreshingly straightforward, responsive, personable and keen to find a way through difficulties.
You were a lifeline through my divorce, turning a daunting process into something manageable. You were always there, ready to explain things in a way that made sense, without overwhelming me.

It’s taken a huge weight off my shoulders and life is looking a lot brighter.
They really help you to see things as they are and are so good at helping take the stress out of what can be awful situations and putting you at ease.
We are very happy that this case is finally over and really pleased with the outcome. Thank you for your and your team's hard work on this case. We will be recommending Crane & Staples to whoever will be in need of solicitors.
Life feels more settled now thanks to you and all your hard work!
