About us

Introducing

Curae Law is a Perth law firm working in Wills and estate planning, deceased estates and probate, property settlements, debt collection and disputes.

We traded as Birman & Ride for more than 40 years and changed our name in April 2024. Only the name changed. Curae Law is still operated by the same brilliant team and offers the same, quality services you know and love.

Curae Law means:

Close attention

Responsibility, guidance and care

Guardianship

Taking charge and oversight

Healing

Helping you solve legal problems

OUR PURPOSE

Curae Law exists to help people simplify and solve legal problems.

We work across four areas: deceased estates, wills and estate planning, real estate conveyancing, and debt collection. Some of these matters are routine. Some come at the hardest moments of a person’s life. We bring the same care and honesty to both.

Our core values

Be kind

We’re compassionate, but firm when we need to be

We do things differently

Complacency is not our thing

Strive for excellence

High standards are our way of life

Our ten year target

Quality outcomes are important to us.
That’s why we have a big, audacious goal to get 15,000 positive client reviews by June 2033. Read what our clients say here, or help us on our mission by leaving your own review here.

Our future

We’re committed to growing, improving and becoming the best version of ourselves.

We’re not interested in standing still. Every year we look for ways to make working with us clearer, calmer and easier, so a hard time in your life is met with real help.

Our values are not just words on a wall, they’re words we live by. Excellence, for us, is not just getting the law right. It is close attention to the detail, guidance you can follow and the feeling that you are in good hands.

That is the standard we hold ourselves to and the one we intend to keep raising.

Testimonials

What our clients say

“Just also want to take a moment to thank you. You have worked endlessly for [my sibling] and I especially in the last few months…. We couldn’t have done this without you and appreciate everything you have done for us. While I’m sad we won’t be in contact anymore, you will be my recommendation for anyone needing a lawyer for any matter like this. You are super a star.”

We have a tenancy issue with a very difficult tenant who is milking the WA Tenancy laws and preventing us from proceeding with a residential development. Nigel assisted us in achieving a decision from the Magistrate we could not have received without the expert help. Highly recommend Curae Law.
