DAC Beachcroft's history spans more than 250 years, beginning in 1762 when Joseph Eyre started practising at Christ's Hospital in Bristol, England. The firm evolved through a series of landmark developments, including the establishment of Richard Beachcroft's London practice in 1828 and the formation of Davies Arnold Cooper in 1927, alongside the growth of Wansbroughs and Stanley Simpson. Over time, these respected firms - and many others - came together through a series of strategic mergers, culminating in 2011 with the merger of Beachcroft and Davies Arnold Cooper to form DAC Beachcroft. Today, the firm draws on this deep and diverse heritage to combine long-standing expertise with a modern, international outlook.
