Sarah founded Curium Legal with a bunch of values that she saw were missing from the traditional law firms. If you have ever sat in an hour long meeting or received a 5 page letter and still had no idea what you’re meant to do, you know what we mean.

After spending many years on the unsatisfying law treadmill, Sarah took the opportunity while on maternity leave in 2020 to experiment with the idea of what a law firm would look like if you stripped out all of the traditional ideas and ways of doing things. It was slightly self-motivated as she wanted to be able to work flexibly around her young family. Reading about Marie Curie brought it all together and in particular a description by Albert Einstein where he described her as “an unpretentious, honest person” with a “sparkling intelligence” whom fame had not corrupted. What if a law firm could deliver its services without the mystifying pretense but without compromising on brilliance?

Thus Curium Legal was born!

Curium Legal is where energetic and dynamic businesses find their match in an adviser who not only understands the law, but understands how business works, and has practical, tailored solutions, unique to you. We are yet to use the same document for two different businesses. We work hard to understand your business and design a solution that is all about you. It features your brand, has your voice, manages your risk, and meets your budget.

We can do this because we don’t believe in billable hours or one size fits all solutions. We ask you questions designed to get to the heart of your business. We believe that lawyers are at their best when they can work flexibly and are allowed to be creative. The solution we design for you may very well have been designed while out bushwalking or making toddler snacks.

So where does this philosophy come from? Sarah was the first person in her family to go to university meaning that she has been able to sit outside the system and measure its accessibility. Sarah did a management degree alongside her law degree and so has a trained understanding of accounting, organisational performance, change management and human resources. Sarah has also worked on not for profit boards, with advocacy organisations, within businesses that are not law firms and has been talking to business owners every day for her entire career. This perspective has helped her gain a real understanding of what businesses need from their lawyers and the well rounded skill set to be able to offer it.
