The law firm founded by David Beckham's stepmother, which is known for securing settlements from the Ministry of Defence, is marking two decades in business this year.
Hilary Meredith Solicitors was founded in 2003 by its namesake, who went on to marry Ted Beckham in December 2021. Now Hilary Meredith-Beckham, the solicitor served as the Wilmslow firm's chief executive for 14 years until becoming its chair in 2017.
Hilary Meredith-Beckham started her legal career in 1982 and rose to become the youngest ever female managing partner of a 300-strong Manchester city centre law firm at the age of 29. But it was in 1987 that she took on a case that would change her life.
