Our firm is characterized by its unique mission-driven approach. We want to contribute to a better world.
From our role as lawyers, we are committed to accelerating the transition to a sustainable and digital society. A new paradigm, in which economic, ecological and social interests are balanced and broad prosperity is central.
We want to be the legal-strategic partner for companies and organizations in transition. We can and want to help navigate the choppy waters of the paradigm shift, with broad long-term value creation as the dot on the horizon. We also want to help our clients remove barriers to a sustainable and digital society.
In addition to our legal practice, we also want to actively engage in exploring and solving transition-related (legal) challenges.
With that in mind, we created Recht voor Klimaat (Right for Climate) and created the Impact Collectief (Impact Collective). We believe that working together and learning together – both between lawyers/lawyers and multidisciplinary – is incredibly important at this stage. We want to continue to create and support such initiatives; we see this as part of our mission.
We believe it is important to apply our values to our own organization as well. We are not-for-profit and steward-owned. We would also like to become a B-Corp and a Social Enterprise. That is work in progress.
All profits are invested in our mission or donated to charities consistent with our mission. We have made this a statutory requirement.
We accomplish our mission through our people. We offer competitive salaries, but choose to cap compensation at the top of the organization. This allows us to invest more in our employees (e.g. through training), to experiment and to set up new projects.
We are a cooperative. All lawyers are part of the general meeting (if they want to) and get to vote on fundamental strategic topics. We also involve our permanent non-lawyer staff. In addition, we have a mission board that oversees our mission, not-for-profit objectives, and salary cap. Lastly, we have a board that is responsible for daily operations.
We are still small, but are dreaming big. We are building the law firm of the future, for the future. Want to join us?
We welcome professionals who believe their expertise can be a valuable addition to our organization. If you think you could be a good fit, we would love to hear from you!
We are building a new organization. We cannot do this alone. Let us know if you have an idea to improve our organization.
