KING & COMPANY History
Mr King subsequently became a Municipal Alderman (Coorparoo), an early President of the Local Government Association (1915 - 16) and, in the late 1920s, Deputy Premier and Minister for Public Works with responsibility for (among various portfolios) local government. Predictably, his firm established a solid local government practice.
The firm became King and Gill in the 1920s when Mr King was joined by GRH Gill, and that firm continued to practise until 1969. The firm maintained its local government connections, and SG King (a son and partner of the founder) was secretary of the Local Government Association for a lengthy period in the 1960s.
In 1969, SG King and JCH Gill (a son of the original Mr Gill), together with Geoff Fynes Clinton and another partner, merged with another Brisbane firm to form KING & COMPANY, which was a medium to large Brisbane firm in the 1970s (with 13 partners at one stage) having a wider focus on areas of practice.
In 1980, the firm reconstituted and returned to a local government focus, under the helm of Geoff Fynes-Clinton, and continued under the name KING & COMPANY. Although Geoff Fynes-Clinton passed away in 1987, two of his sons have maintained the Fynes-Clinton family connection with firm, with Stephen Fynes-Clinton (now a barrister) having being involved with the firm (as a partner or full-time consultant) from 1985 to 2003 and Tim Fynes-Clinton (presently the Managing Partner) beginning his professional career with the firm in 1989. KING & COMPANY has experienced steady growth in both its size and the number of its clients since 1980. The present partners of KING & COMPANY proudly continue the primary focus of the firm on servicing all aspects of the needs of its extensive local government client base.
