In this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to be speaking with Dean Evans – Partner at Evans & Company Family Lawyers and a Queensland Law Society Accredited Family Law Specialist. Dean has received some top accolades in his career, including being named by the legal bench marking organisation, Doyle’s Guide, as a ‘Leading Lawyer’ in 2016, and then as a ‘Preeminent Lawyer’ in the 2017 category.
Dean’s someone who works hard on creating a positive and happy culture in his firm, which brings him a lot joy while getting top results out of his staff. He’s also someone who’s not only incredibly driven to achieving top results for his clients, but also doing so in a way that coincides with his firm’s culture. This is a really interesting conversation that will be useful for legal professionals from all walks of life.
