Holding Redlich’s National Managing Partner Troy Lewis said: “Drawing on a wealth of experience and knowledge, Wendy and Andrew (Iser) will add deep sector expertise to our current strengths and national capabilities.
“These appointments reflect our ongoing strategy to grow our planning and environment capabilities and support a national offering in this space.”
Wendy Evans
Wendy brings more than 25 years’ experience in the development industry, first as a town planner and later as a planning and environment lawyer. This interdisciplinary background has contributed to her recognition in Doyle’s Guide as a Recommended Planning and Development Partner.
Wendy joins the firm from Clayton Utz, where she was a Partner in the Environment and Sustainable Development team and acted for developers, government agencies and resource sector clients on complex planning and infrastructure matters.
Wendy’s expertise spans planning litigation, statutory and strategic planning, infrastructure planning and agreements, and cultural heritage and her leadership within the industry is reflected in her role as a Fellow of the Planning Institute of Australia and her current position as its National Vice President.
“I am proud to be joining a national team committed to delivering clarity and strategy in an increasingly complex planning landscape,” Wendy said.
“Supporting clients to shape communities and infrastructure outcomes goes hand in hand with empowering planners to play a strong, strategic role in shaping healthy and functional communities.”
Wendy and Andrew will work closely with Sydney Partner Thomas Kwok as part of Holding Redlich’s national planning and environment capability.
“These appointments add significant experience and insight to our team,” Thomas said.
“Wendy is highly regarded for her ability to deliver exceptional outcomes by combining legal strategy with practical planning insight. Her multidiscipline experience has enabled her to establish herself as one of the most respected planning law practitioners in Australia.”
Wendy holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) from Queensland University of Technology and a Bachelor of Environmental Planning (Honours) from Griffith University. She also completed a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice at the College of Law.
