Dion McCurdy

I hold a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Psychology from The University of Queensland, as well as a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from QUT (GPA 6.8/7). I also completed the Legal Practice Management course through the College of Law Brisbane.

Before launching Direct Lawyers in September 2020, I worked at multiple law firms and served as an Adjunct Associate Lecturer at the University of Queensland. I’ve also been featured in the Brisbane Times for my civic work with NewVote, and today, I continue my passion for community service through EPIC Pathways.

What I enjoy most about my work is providing clarity and peace of mind to families—especially when I meet clients in their homes, where discussions feel more personal and meaningful.

For those weighing up their estate planning options, I recently wrote a helpful guide on the difference between a Testamentary Trust and a Family Trust, where I explain how each structure works and who can benefit.
