[edit] History
Beachcroft can trace its history through a series of mergers back to 1762. The name "Beachcroft" was first used in 1828, when Richard Beachcroft set up his law practice. In the late 1990s, Beachcroft Stanleys and Wansbroughs Willey Hargrave merged to form Beachcroft Wansbroughs, which dropped the name "Wansbroughs" in 2006, to become Beachcroft LLP.
