About Us

Our Story

We created Assured Legal Solutions to help small-to-medium enterprises and their lenders manage the risks they face each day.

Our approach to finding the best solutions for our clients is practical. Our team provides them with clear and uncomplicated advice on how to achieve their desired objectives in a way that minimises their exposure to both financial and reputational risks.

We’re a firm built to solve the “more for less” challenge that every business faces by delivering smart outcomes. And we price the results, not our effort.

Our Culture

We are a commercially-focused, values-driven, law firm

It is our values that DRIVE us to convert our legal expertise into practical solutions for our clients

Our Team

We recognise that any organisation is only as good as its people. But this is particularly true for a law firm. Our focus is on attracting specialist legal experts who want to pursue excellence in an environment totally focused on achieving the best solutions for our clients.

Our delivery of exceptional legal services is completely dependent on the skill and ability of our team. We support our people to achieve their own professional goals, to enable them to become better lawyers, and to excel in order to support our clients in achieving their objectives.

Our Approach

At Assured we believe in aligning the interests of all our key stakeholders – clients, our people and the business owners

We believe that professional services should be kept simple – if we create an environment in which our people are happy, they will create an environment in which our clients are happy.

Therefore, we appreciate and encourage discussions with both our clients and our people about the value we provide. Everyone, from our legal to our graduate lawyers and to our creators, is given the option to structure their remuneration package to share in the firm’s successes.

We believe this is the best way to create a united team that works together to achieve great things for us all.
