History

Between 2008 and 2010, Eversheds had four rounds of redundancies and cut a total of around 730 jobs, the largest staff reductions of any UK-based law firm in that period.^[3]

In May 2011, Eversheds merged with the law consortium KSLG, which comprised Dhabaan & Partners in Saudi Arabia; Khasawneh & Associates in the UAE; and Sanad Law Group in Jordan and Iraq.^[4]

In 2013, Eversheds split from its South African arm, which rebranded to its former name, Routledge Modise.^[5]
