History

Before becoming HankMed's CFO/CPA Evan was a CPA (certified public accountant) in Brooklyn, he has stated that his business was a success which we later learn was a lie.

Summary
In Season One, Evan generally introduces himself as: Evan R. Lawson, CFO of HankMed. He could generally be considered the recruiter for Hankmed, finding several of their patients. The only role Evan plays in the pilot is moving Hank to the Hamptons for the summer ahead and finding several of their patients, such as Tucker and Newberg - who play roles in the entire season, not just one episode. In episode two, Evan meets a ballerina who seems to be starved. He feeds her several greasy foods, causing her to become unusually sick the next night and collapse during a romantic dinner with Evan.
Relationships
Hank Lawson (brother) Evan and Hank have the typical little to big brother relationship. Evan respects and looks up to Hank, and tries to live up to his brother's success, while Hank is protective of his brother and ignorant to Evan's idolization of him. Because of this, Evan often feels (and is) disregarded by Hank when it comes to his ideas for HankMed. As the series progresses, Evan begins to mature and his relationship with his brother becomes more equal, and, ultimately, stronger. The brothers often argue, but always find a way to resolve it, usually with the help of an outside source such as Divya. The boys initially disagree when it comes to their father, Evan having been too young to know that his father had always been a conman, and Hank understanding all of the trouble his father was getting into even before he abandoned them. However, eventually, their opinions change in both directions on the matter, both admitting to each other that the other was right. Evan realizes that his father was likely rarely honest with them as children (and especailly as adults when Eddie R. depleats their HankMed bank account and nearly gets them bankrupt), and Hank decides that even though he cannot forgive his father for the mad decisions he made in the past, he can move forward with a new future relationship.
