Commenting on her decision to move out of an in-house role and back into private practice, Ms King said: “The outlook for urban regeneration and infrastructure projects in Sydney remains positive and I saw a great opportunity to return to private practice to build and lead a practice for developers and investors in property projects”.

“I am looking forward to applying the commercial insight and understanding of client needs that I have developed in-house to deliver premium client service with focused legal solutions.”
