About us

Introducing

After more than 40 years trading as Birman & Ride, in April 2024 we changed our flagship name to Curae Law.

It’s only our name that has 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 solve legal problems with clarity, care and confidence.

Whether it’s planning for the future or navigating everyday legal matters, we offer expert guidance, clear communication, and fixed pricing so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

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.

One way we do that is by being brave enough to decide what our future will look like and then working hard to bring that vision to life. 

We create a three year painted picture vision to make sure we stay focused on achieving our goals.

Our painted picture vision of 2027: How we will look, feel and act by 1 July 2027 is available here.

Laura was exceptional to deal with, she chased up all parties associated with this settlement to ensure all deadlines were met. Haven’t had a settlement agent go over and above like this before. I will recommend her services to anyone who asks and use her exclusively moving forward, Thanks again Laura.

Michael Hodgkins was recommended to us by another lawyer due to the complexity of 2 tragic losses we had suffered more than 12 months ago. Due to our situation being so complex, Michael Hodgkins guided us through this extremely difficult time with professionalism, kindness and empathy to ensure the Estates were completed with the least amount of stress possible. All of our communications and queries were answered promptly and dealt with seamlessly. The entire staff at Curae Law were knowledgeable and professional and always went the extra mile, we can’t thank you enough.
