Whitney Evans Associate Whitney has practiced family law since her Call to the Ontario Bar in 2024. She became interested in family law during her graduate studies, wherein her major research project investigated matrimonial real property law as it pertained to First Nations peoples. During law school at the University of Windsor, her interest in family law grew through her participation in the Walsh Family Law Moot, where her team won Best Respondent Factum. As an articling student at the Windsor-Essex Bilingual Legal Clinic, she supported low-income community members in crisis and provided representation before various administrative tribunals. There, she observed how intersectional family law is as an area of law and decided that she wanted to advance her career in this area. Prior to law school, Whitney obtained an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and French from McMaster University (2014) and a Master of Arts degree from Brock University (2015). She also previously worked as a manager of a full-service fitness franchise, master trainer of group fitness, and personal trainer. Her experience serves her well in building rapport with clients, understanding their goals and needs, and researching complex issues. Outside of the office, you can find Whitney at a CrossFit class, scoping out live music, or plotting her next dad joke to tell at our staff meetings.
