Law Society of SA president Morry Bailes congratulated Evans on his appointment, describing the QC as one of the state’s “preeminent barristers”.
Evans, who has more than 30 years experience in both the public and private sectors, served on the Law Society’s Council from 2007 to 2009 and was previously a member of the Law Society’s Justice Access Committee. He is also a committee member of the SA Bar Association.
