Law for life
Corporate Social Responsibility
At Franklins Solicitors, Law for Life is more than a strapline. It reflects how we support our people, serve our communities and take responsibility for the impact of our work.
We are committed to delivering legal services with integrity, care and professionalism, while acting responsibly towards our employees, our local communities and the environment. Our approach to corporate social responsibility supports our obligations under SRA principles and reflects our belief that a successful law firm should make a positive contribution beyond the legal advice it provides.

Supporting life beyond our offices
Our Communities
As a firm rooted in Milton Keynes and Northampton, our connection to our local communities runs deep.
We support a wide range of charities through fundraising, volunteering and sponsorship. From Make a Will Month to the Franklins £50 Challenge, our teams come together to raise vital funds and awareness for causes that change lives.
We actively support local food banks and lead initiatives such as MK Food Reach and Northants Food Reach to help tackle food poverty in our area. Every member of our team is offered a Volunteer Day each year, giving them time to support a cause close to their heart.
