Eversheds was originally established in 1988 by a four-way merger between Manchester-based Alexander Tatham & Co, Sheffield-based Broomheads & Neals, Norwich-based Daynes Hill & Perks and Birmingham-based Evershed & Tomkinson. Later in 1988 the combined firm merged with Newcastle upon Tyne-based Ingledew Botterell Roche & Temperley.

In 1991 the firm merged with Ipswich-based Turner Martin & Symes. In 1992 the firm rebranded all of its member firms with the prefix 'Eversheds', the names of which were shortened to just 'Eversheds' in 1995. Eversheds merged with Bristol-based Holt Philips in 1994 and the London and Brussels offices of Jacques & Lewis in 1995. In May 1996 the insurance, corporate and property groups of London-based Waltons & Morse joined Eversheds. In August 1997 Eversheds merged with Newcastle upon Tyne-based Wilkinson Maughan. In May 1998 Eversheds formed an alliance with Copenhagen-based Sandal Lunoe and acquired the London, Paris, Sofia and Moscow offices of Frere Cholmeley Bischoff. In November 1998 Eversheds merged with Cambridge-based Palmer Wheeldon. In 2000 Eversheds merged with Newcastle upon Tyne-based Linsley & Mortimer and financially integrated all of its UK offices.
