Meet Nicole โ€”

Since beginning her legal career in 2013, Nicole Brotherton has become known for her ability to turn complex legal issues into clear, practical advice that empowers clients to make confident decisions. Compassionate, approachable and fiercely committed to achieving the best outcomes, Nicole ensures every client feels informed, supported and heard.

Nicole practises in Estate Planning and Administration, as well as Business, Commercial and Property Law, helping individuals, families and businesses navigate some of life's most important decisions with confidence and clarity.

Originally drawn to property law and conveyancing, Nicole pursued a legal career while raising a young family, driven by a desire to build a profession that was both intellectually rewarding and meaningful. More than a decade later, that same passion continues to shape her approach to the law.

Having spent the past six years with Evans & Wislang, Nicole has become a trusted leader within the firm and a respected advocate for her clients and community alike.

Away from the office, Nicole's greatest joy is her family. Whether she's taking her children on new adventures or giving back through her long-standing involvement with the Warners Bay Netball Committee, Nicole brings the same energy, dedication and sense of community to every aspect of her life.

For Nicole, the practice of law is about more than solving problems โ€” it's about helping people move forward with confidence.

Two of our junior lawyers, Olivia and Jake, recently attended a panel event featuring leading Hunter Region business professionals, who shared their insights into leadership, innovation and the evolving world of work.

From early career decisions to stepping into leadership roles, the panel offered practical perspectives on what it takes to grow, stay relevant and succeed in a rapidly changing professional landscape.

At Evans & Wislang, we are committed to supporting opportunities like these for our young lawyers. Events such as HYP encourage connection, collaboration and professional growth, while fostering the next generation of leaders within our profession and community.

A commercial, retail or industrial lease is one of the biggest commitments your business can make. The wrong terms can cost you thousands in make-good obligations, uncapped rent reviews, or outgoings you didn't know you'd signed up for.

We review, negotiate and draft leases designed to help protect your business interests, and help you understand the key legal and commercial terms before you sign.

On Friday, 15 May, more than 100 members of the Newcastle community gave up the comfort of their beds for one night to stand in solidarity with people experiencing homelessness and hardship, including the partners of Evans & Wislang.

Held at Bolton Street Carpark, the evening was a powerful reminder of the importance of community, connection, and compassion โ€” with live music, shared stories, fire pits, and meaningful conversations bringing people together for an important cause.

Together, the community raised over $140,000 to support the incredible work does every day for vulnerable individuals across Newcastle.

We are proud to have contributed to such an impactful initiative and to support organisations creating real change where it is needed most.

Moving into a retirement village should be the start of a relaxed chapter, not a legal headache. With the 2026 NSW regulation updates, contracts are more transparent, but only if you know what to look for. ๐Ÿง

From daily exit fee calculations to mandatory buyback periods, the fine print matters. At Evans & Wislang, we strip away the legalese so you can move forward with confidence.

Today, our partners reflect on the women who shaped them, inspired them, and continue to influence the way they lead both professionally and personally.

Motherโ€™s Day is a celebration of the seen and unseen โ€” the guidance, sacrifice, resilience, emotional labour, and unwavering support that mothers and mother figures provide every single day.

To all the women balancing careers, businesses, leadership, caregiving, and family while continuing to show up for those around them: we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you.

Happy Motherโ€™s Day from all of us at Evans & Wislang ๐Ÿ’

As of June 1, 2026, the old 2022 Edition of the Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Land officially becomes non-compliant for all new residential exchanges. Don't let an old contract stall your settlement. Weโ€™ve already audited our clients' files to ensure they are 2026-ready. Let us do the same for you.
