Crossword Genius

Nevertheless just like this (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

even so

'nevertheless' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'just like this' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'even'.
'like this' becomes 'so'.
'even'+'so'='EVEN SO'

(Other definitions for even so that I've seen before include "Although that is the case, nevertheless" , "Just the same, though that may be the case" , "yet" , "Notwithstanding" , "'Despite, still (4,2)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
