David is KHQ Lawyers’ founder. He holds degrees in law and science (with honours) and is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
David practised as a lawyer in top tier firms in Perth and Melbourne between 1996 and 2002 before moving in-house to Toyota Australia. Spying a gap in the legal services market, he then launched KHQ in 2006 with the vision of a new type of law firm – ‘boutique top-tier’, a firm with top tier talent, clients, and expertise underpinned by the best characteristics of a boutique firm (namely, nimble, efficient, friendly, and cost effective). From those humble beginnings in 2006, today KHQ is a thriving, full service commercial firm with 120+ people working across 15 practice areas, and with an enviable reputation for innovative, high quality service delivery.
David is a passionate advocate for change in the legal industry, particularly in relation to how legal services are delivered and how lawyers are supported and developed in their careers.
