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.
In-house services provided by me
I have a genuine enthusiasm for in-house legal work and will quickly get on board with your team or business.
I hit the ground running and provide the expertise you need, when you need it.
Whether it's providing assistance to executive management, or dealing with the nitty-gritty , I handle a variety of corporate and commercial legal matters.
And customised to suit you
A lawyer who takes the time to understand your business
Flexible pricing structures
On-site or outsourced.
Testimonials

Leigh is exceptional and one of the most efficient in-house counsels that I have ever worked with, who always strives for excellence.”

She is available when needed and has the ideal mix of legal skills and understanding of our business to work very quickly.
After working with many others in her field, we’re very glad to have Leigh representing our team.”
