Proudly supporting Doyle’s Guide
DKL has been recognised by the Doyle’s Guide since 2015, and has proudly sponsored the Leading In-House Employment & WHS Lawyers list since 2017. We’re particularly honoured to sponsor this category, because it aligns so perfectly with our mission – helping others who share our passion for employment law to be recognised as experts in the field.
About Us
At Danny King Legal, we do things differently.
We’re working to transform the legal industry into one where everyone is welcome, and everyone can thrive. We recognise that change starts first from within.
So, we walk the talk.
Our people-centred approach to running our practice means we’re a tight-knit team. We understand that our success depends on the overall happiness and wellbeing of our people – so we empower them to pursue their passion for employment law and help others in a way that aligns with our values of fair treatment, equality, and professional and personal excellence.
We encourage our people to achieve what matters to them, in a way that works best for them, no matter where they sit on their career path.
This is because we know that happy people go above and beyond, which to us, ultimately means happy clients. Happy clients means happy staff and happy staff means happy firm!
What drives us every day?
Every action we take, and any decision we make, is driven by an underlying mantra:
Loving our people
Never taking our people for granted, instead showing them why DKL is unique. Focusing on each team member’s ambitions, actively enabling them to achieve their goals, and meaningfully supporting them through both work and non-work related challenges.
Working smarter, not harder
Consistently striving for continuous improvement and efficiency by leveraging technology, data and processes to achieve shared goals.
Loving our clients
Constantly showing clients how we make a difference so they can trust in our guidance, feel secure in choosing us, and become a DKL brand advocate.
Winning the right work
Creating a skilled and empowered team who curates opportunities, accepts work that is right for them (never for the sake of it), and works with clients who align with our culture.
What makes us different?
For starters, we welcome all people and meaningfully support everyone to thrive. We see self-directed working as the future of the legal workplace. This includes:
Rewarding contributions not billing volumes: offering many ways for you to excel, providing fair recognition for your day-to-day contributions to client work, thanks to our unique employment model, basing your targets on three billable hours a day.
Sharing generously: you’ll receive quarterly productivity bonuses of 10% of revenue generated in excess of targets, levelling this up when you consistently and materially exceed a target.
Offering marketing incentive bonuses: rewarding you for bringing work into the firm.
Making flexible working and leave the norm: you decide when, where and how your work is done, taking time off when needed or when client work is completed.
Encouraging individually-driven professional development and mentorship: creating a culture where you feel safe to ask for help when you need it. Individually-driven professional development and value bonuses for senior team members who actively support junior staff all helps us be the best version of ourselves, together.
Setting benchmarks for diversity and inclusion: the Women in Law Awards named us the 2021 and 2022 Diversity Firm of the Year, and a finalist in 2023. At DKL it starts with providing a safe workplace that values every person’s experience, investing in mental health initiatives, supporting industry initiatives aligned with our values and enjoying regular events organised by our social committee.
