Process guidance
We support our clients throughout the entire process, from the initial filing of the case to the execution of the deed. We ensure that the parties reach a sound agreement. We facilitate negotiations and document them; we document what the parties agree on and advise them on it. This includes matters such as legal provisions, the relevance of case law, the parties' authority, declarations, warranties, exemptions, fines, securities, and much more. This reduces the risk of disputes. And if disputes do arise, we help the parties resolve them.

Our approach
Advice and consulting
We take on interesting and challenging advisory and consulting assignments. These are assignments where we might be able to readily provide the answer, but also questions for which there's no clear-cut answer. If that's the case, we'll acknowledge it, but we'll also be willing to take a stand. So you can benefit from it.

Product development
We develop initiatives that can contribute to our clients' well-being. These include tax-saving schemes, checklists, an "is-my-will-still-completely-up-to-date" scan, and an office app to stay constantly informed about small changes with major consequences for notarial matters. We also give on-site presentations on topics such as "Why a Living Will," "Sole Proprietorship or Limited Company," "Saving Tax on Inheritances and Gifts," and "Investing in Real Estate."
Our approach
Investments
We are willing to share and invest. In our relationships with our clients, in society, in knowledge development, knowledge sharing, and in technological innovation. By investing capital in our company, we can better and more cost-effectively support our clients in achieving their goals. A large portion of our profits flows back into the company and is used for discounts, sponsorships, charities, and pro bono work.
