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.{{cite news|url=http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/support_services/article7139442.ece|title=City surprised by surge in Eversheds' profits|access-date=25 May 2011|work=The Times|date=29 May 2010}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
