Danny King is principal and founding partner at Danny King Legal and was named Managing Partner of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2021. She holds a Bachelor of Laws degree with First Class Honours from the University of Technology Sydney.
King established Danny King Legal as her solo practice in 2011, which has since expanded into a successful boutique employment firm with three partners, six solicitors and a strong reputation for both employer and employee representation. In 2021, it was recognised as Boutique Diversity Firm of the Year at the Women in Law Awards, an accolade that King is particularly proud of as it reflects not just her business’s successes but also its culture of inclusion and embracing difference.
In addition to her legal work, King is a well-respected educator and sought-after speaker for CPD and media engagements. She is also a long-standing member of the Employment Law Committee of the Law Society of NSW. King has been recognised as a pre-eminent practitioner by Doyle’s Guide nationally, notably making both the employer and employee lists for NSW, and being listed since 2015. Having neurodivergent traits herself, King is particularly keen to support a future in the legal industry in which neurodiversity is better accommodated.
