Gately Conveyancing: Solo practitioner doubles productivity with Curia
The challenge
With more than 30 years of conveyancing experience, Brenda Gately has built a reputation for delivering highly professional and reliable service to her clients throughout New South Wales and Victoria. Operating as a solo practitioner at Gately Conveyancing, Brenda faced the universal challenge experienced by many small conveyancing practices: how to maintain exceptional service standards while efficiently managing workload.
Prior to implementing Curia, Brenda was spending an average of 60 minutes on each contract review. This time-intensive process limited the number of clients she could serve and created bottlenecks during busy periods.
The results
Dramatic Time Savings
The impact of implementing Curia Contract Review was immediate and substantial. Curia has "saved a lot of time reviewing the Contract and typing out a report for the client," Brenda notes.
With Curia, Brenda has cut her average contract review time in half—from 60 minutes to just 30 minutes per review. This 50% reduction translates to significant capacity improvements for her solo practice.
Enhanced Quality Through AI Assistance
When asked about the most valuable feature of Curia for her conveyancing process, Brenda identified "AI Suggestions (Ria)". This sophisticated feature provides targeted suggestions on nuanced pieces of the contract, delivering deep insights on specific clauses that require professional attention.
The quality of these AI-powered suggestions reflects how well the technology complements Brenda's extensive professional experience, helping her deliver even more detailed and accurate advice to clients.
Significant Cost Benefits
Beyond time savings, Brenda reported experiencing "significant cost savings" since implementing Curia Contract Review. This financial benefit, combined with the efficiency gains, has created a compelling return on investment for her small practice.
Embracing Technology After 30 Years in the Industry
What makes Brenda's story particularly remarkable is how seamlessly she has integrated cutting-edge AI technology into a practice built on three decades of traditional conveyancing experience. Rather than resisting technological change, Brenda has embraced it as a means to enhance—rather than replace—her professional expertise.
Looking ahead
The time saved using Curia Contract Review has allowed Brenda to take on "more paying work," expanding her practice's capacity without requiring additional staff. With her strong endorsement of the system (rating Curia a perfect 10/10 overall), Brenda has positioned herself as both an experienced industry veteran and an early adopter of AI-enhanced conveyancing practices.
As property transactions in NSW and Victoria continue to evolve in complexity, Brenda's integration of Curia Contract Review ensures that Gately Conveyancing remains at the forefront of efficiency and client service—demonstrating that even solo practitioners with decades of experience can leverage technology to achieve remarkable improvements in productivity.
