Tammy Ann Evans

Land owners, developers, builders, landlords and institutional/private lenders regularly seek out Tammy’s expertise to assist with all aspects of mixed-use and condominium development and construction contract drafting and negotiation. With more than 30 years serving the industry from the private and public sectors, Tammy delivers a solid, practical and business-oriented legal foundation for her clients through all stages of land development and construction. Her clients rely on her depth of knowledge of the development industry as well as her business and legal insight to meet their development and construction needs. From project conception to contract and operational matters, Tammy brings a unique perspective and set of skills to her practice.

Tammy is a member of the firm’s Real Estate Group and Co-Leader of the Condominium Group. She acts as counsel to large- and small-scale developers and builders of residential, commercial, resort and mixed-use developments. Tammy brings extensive expertise in guiding developers and builders through Tarion registration and reporting requirements, construction contract best practices and risk allocation, overseeing more than 2,500 condominium closings annually. She also acts as liaison for industry associations and clients in condominium reform initiatives.

As a seasoned practitioner, Tammy dedicates her after-hours to important industry initiatives. For example, as President of the Canadian Association of Women in Construction, Tammy led an initiative to improve women’s advancement into leadership roles within the Canadian construction industry. The Level Best Women’s Advancement Project was a 36-month research and action plan project aimed at addressing the historical and pervasive inequality of women’s participation in the Canadian construction industry. The end of the three-year project led to the issuance of the Level Best Industry Action Plan, which was designed specifically for employers, unions, industry associations, education institutions and all levels of government/government agencies. In addition, Tammy currently sits on the Advisory Board of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), where she provides input and advice to BILD’s Board of Directors.
