About Kirsty

Kirsty Evans is a highly accomplished director specialising in commercial and property law, committed to guiding clients through complex business legal responsibilities while leveraging competitive advantages. Her wide-ranging expertise covers business planning, restructuring, asset protection, and succession, as well as the drafting of shareholder agreements, commercial contracts, and financing documents for diverse enterprises. Beginning her legal career in 2009 in Sydney as a commercial litigator, Kirsty enhanced her skills with a Masters of Law in Commercial Litigation. She excels in advising on property transactions, including due diligence, acquisition, development, and land subdivision. Her portfolio also comprises services related to rural property transactions and the crafting of retail and commercial leases. Kirsty's thought leadership and significant community contributions have garnered widespread recognition. She was pivotal in the Australian Parliamentary Inquiry into Insurers’ Responses to flood claims, resulting in several adopted recommendations. Her active community support, particularly during the 2022 flood events, earned her the President’s Medal from the Law Society of NSW. Her advocacy work includes a well-regarded opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald and finalist standing in the Women In Law Awards. In 2025, she was awarded NSW Regional Woman of the Year. Beyond her legal practice, Kirsty is engaged in her family’s farming enterprise, using her expertise to aid rural families in strategising the future of their farms.
