PRANEEL BHELA - Principal
Praneel is our Principal Solicitor and Founder of Impact Legal. With over a decade of experience as a lawyer, he honed his skills overseas in Sweden and India, while pursuing his passion for sustainability. After returning to Australia, his ambitious nature and love of community inspired him to establish Impact Legal, prompted by a desire to create an accessible service for everyone, providing legal expertise through a straightforward, friendly, and supportive approach.
With extensive knowledge of the Queensland property market and legalities, as well as the innate community knowledge from being born and raised in Far North Queensland, Praneel saw an opportunity to create a legal firm specialising in guiding clients through the conveyance process. Praneel’s goal is to make entering the property market easy for everyone, regardless of their experience or understanding.
Praneel is one of the friendly voices you'll chat to when you first reach out, he's always keen to understand your unique situation, and introduce you to the conveyance process. He combines expert advice with genuine kindness and a true interest in the success of each client.
Believing in a healthy work-life balance, Praneel stays busy outside of work by hiking and exploring outdoors (like any true Queenslander). He has climbed the largest mountains in Far North Queensland, Tasmania, and New Zealand, often setting off in the darkness to reach the summit by sunrise.
