Highlight: 2022 Elite Woman kicked off 2023 with leading role at PwC Legal

2022 Elite Woman Claire Evans rang in the new year with a bang by commencing a new leadership role at PwC Legal.

Coming off leading Lane Neave’s national corporate team, Evans made the jump to heading up PwC Legal’s South Island branch last month. The 20-year veteran corporate practitioner has been recognised by the Legal 500 Asia-Pacific, and has a strong reputation for her expertise when it comes to limited partnerships, capital raising and investment funds.

Evans has worked across New Zealand, Sydney and London. She regularly handles cross-border transactions as part of a trans-Tasman team, and has worked on matters involving corporate governance, directors’ duties, shareholder agreements, issuance of shares, minority buyout rights, franchise issues and general company law issues.
