I'm Leigh Evans,
founder of Annex Legal

 

I have more than 13 years' experience working as in-house counsel in Australia and the UK. I created my own business, Annex Legal, to deliver the style of legal services many in-house legal teams and businesses often need but find difficult to source.

My depth of experience and flexible, relationship-driven approach means I can meet the specific needs of your business or corporate legal team to create a seamless experience.

For busy in-house teams, I'm the extra pair of hands you dream of when you are overloaded. For companies without an in-house lawyer, I'm the "legal sounding board" you sometimes wish for when making business decisions.
