In a legal landscape that’s evolving faster than ever, Freeths continues to stand out – not just for its commercial acumen, but for its people-first culture, bold strategic growth and unwavering commitment to justice.
With a national footprint and a thriving regional presence, the firm’s Milton Keynes office is leading the charge in redefining what modern legal services look like.
Freeths Milton Keynes recently marked a major mile- stone with its relocation to a new, purpose-built office at 450–500 Silbury Boulevard. The move reflects the firm’s long-term investment in the region and its vision for a more collaborative, sustainable and client-focused workspace.
The new 8,000 square foot premises are designed with hybrid working and wellbeing at the core. Featuring a dedicated wellbeing room, two outdoor solar-powered working and social pods, and furniture made from recycled materials, the space embodies Freeths’ commitment to sustainability and innovation. Located in the heart of the town centre, the office benefits from excellent transport links, including the virtual tram network, making it easily accessible for clients and staff alike.
Post-pandemic growth and diversification
Since the pandemic, Freeths Milton Keynes has seen remarkable growth, both in headcount and service offering. The Real Estate team has expanded significantly, adding a Strategic Land and Affordable Housing service line to meet the evolving needs of developers, housing associations and landowners. This specialist capability has positioned the team as a go-to advisor for complex land transactions and housing delivery across the region.
Meanwhile, the Employment and Dispute Resolution teams have also grown in response to rising demand. From navigating hybrid working policies to resolving high-stakes commercial disputes, Freeths Milton Keynes is helping businesses stay resilient and forward-thinking in a challenging economic climate.
National success, local impact
Freeths’ success in Milton Keynes mirrors its national trajectory. The firm recently reported record financial results for 2024/25, with turnover rising 14.8% to £166.8 million, an increase of £21.5 million year-on-year. This marks the sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth, with average annual turnover growth exceeding 10% over five years.
This commercial success is matched by industry rec- ognition. Freeths was named Legal Business Law Firm of the Year in 2024 and City AM Law Firm of the Year in 2025, affirming its reputation as one of the UK’s most dynamic and client-focused firms.
But Freeths is more than just a commercial powerhouse. The firm has played a pivotal role in the Post Office Horizon scandal, fighting for justice on behalf of sub-postmasters who were wrongly accused and convicted. This landmark case has not only reshaped public trust in institutions but also highlighted Freeths’ deep commitment to ethical practice and social justice.
Celebrating leadership and talent
Freeths’ culture of excellence is reflected in its people. Lucy Bradban, Partner in the Milton Keynes office, was recently honoured with the Women Leaders Award in the Professional Services category (2025). The award recognises her outstanding leadership, client service, and contribution to the legal profession.
Lucy’s achievement is emblematic of Freeths’ broader culture: empowering individuals to lead, innovate and make a difference. With over 50 staff in Milton Keynes and more than 1,000 colleagues nationwide, the firm continues to attract top talent while nurturing a collaborative and inclusive environment.
