About Assure Legal
Assure Legal was created in 2013 by Lawyer, Chris Boys. He realised that there was a lack of specialist insurance lawyers who were serving claimants, rather than the insurance companies, and that the traditional law firm billing structures were not affordable or cost effective for a number of private clients.
Before practicing as a lawyer Chris worked as a commercial claims handler for several large New Zealand insurers, and in London as a Lloyd's broker. Since becoming a lawyer, Chris has worked for the Insurance and Savings Ombudsman, and as a Barrister and Solicitor for a niche civil litigation firm, handling personal injury, employment and insurance cases.
Chris handles cases and appears in the High Court, and District Court. He has extensive experience and a proven track record in obtaining favourable settlements through mediation or negotiation. His skills and experience enable you to find the best solution to your legal problems.
