Danny King Legal (DKL) is a team of highly experienced, award-winning employment and industrial relations lawyers based in Sydney’s CBD.
The boutique employment law firm represents employers, employees, HR professionals, and other lawyers. With over 10 years of experience and service, DKL has grown to become one of Sydney’s top-rated employment law firms.
The firm began in 2011 as a sole practice when founding partner Danny King stepped away from a career in the top-tier environment to change the face of employment law in Sydney. Ten years on, DKL has grown into a firm composed of three partners, five solicitors, seven administrative support staff and a strong reputation for both employer and employee representation.
DKL has been recognised consistently in Doyle’s Guide since 2015, and for the first time in 2022, both Kevin Yee and Danny King have been individually recognised, in addition to the firm’s own rankings on the state and national lists. DKL was also named Boutique Diversity Firm of the Year in 2021, an accolade that the team is particularly proud of because it not only celebrates the success of the business but also endorses the firm’s strong culture of inclusion, acceptance, and embracing difference.

To deal with significant economic changes and instability at the local and global levels, IQumulate continues to enhance its service, support, and product development so that it remains agile and adaptable. The company also strives to differentiate its offerings from that of the competition by improving efficiencies in service, delivery, and technology efforts.
Diversity and inclusion of women in leadership positions is further evidence of IQumulate’s commitment to a fair and well-thought-out approach to their professional development beyond traditional roles. IQumulate’s head of sales for AU and NZ, Elizabeth Lawry and head of operations, Tricia Kopka, hold long-standing positions in the company and occupy integral roles in strategic business decision-making, and planning.
Investing in education and people are vital factors for IQumulate in attracting and retaining clients and the right talent to the company.

Active engagement and education opportunities for valued broker networks also ensure that IQumulate provides the best finance solutions and accreditation for brokers, whilst supporting clients’ business strategies and growth initiatives, now and in the future.
