Happy Birthday Milton Keynes!


Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors are delighted to wish Milton Keynes a very happy birthday and a bright and prosperous future.


the firm prides itself in being part of the


growth of Milton Keynes, having recently celebrated its own 50th anniversary. Back then the world was a very different place when Geoffrey Leaver left his home in Lancashire and put up his brass plate in Fenny Stratford, embracing the 'can do' attitude of the early arrivals in Milton Keynes.


Geoffrey’s philosophy was to work hard and look after his clients. he quickly found that approach reaped rewards as his business grew rapidly - something that has remained the ethos of the firm to this day.


In 1990, the firm moved to its current office in Bouverie Square, just off Silbury Boulevard in Central Milton Keynes. Since then Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors has grown from a one-man band to an experienced team of 16 partners, a number of whom are accredited specialists in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners Legal Directory.


Managing partner richard Millard says: “the


key to the firm’s success has been, and continues to be, that we focus on what the client would like to achieve, provide practical advice on how to achieve it and help to


provide solutions to the legal problems clients face.”


Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors has always


actively supported the Milton Keynes community. Staff regularly give their time to support charities, schools, arts and heritage.


Over the years the firm has supported and sponsored events such as the Open Air Film Festival in Campbell Park, Proms in the Park and the MK Marathon Corporate relay.


this year the firm is delighted to sponsor Milton Keynes City Orchestra, the MK Sports
