The legal foundations your business needs - made clear.
Terms & conditions, GDPR compliance, contracts and legal notices, I help freelancers, expats and small business owners in the Netherlands get the legal basics right, in plain English, at a fair fixed price.
Starting a business is exciting. The legal part… less so.
Registering with the KvK took an afternoon. But then come the questions nobody prepared you for: Do I need terms and conditions? What must my invoices and website mention? Am I allowed to keep this client data? What happens if a client doesn’t pay or cancels last minute?
Most freelancers copy documents found online, often invalid or outdated, or postpone the whole thing and hope for the best. Both usually cost more later than doing it right from the start.
What I can take off your plate
Practical legal solutions tailored specifically to your activity, with upfront fixed pricing.
Terms & conditions that actually protect you
Your algemene voorwaarden are your first line of defence: payment terms, cancellations, liability, intellectual property. I draft them from scratch for your activity, not from a generic template, so they hold up when you need them.
GDPR compliance, without the headache
From a privacy notice that matches what you really do, to a record of processing activities, to full external DPO support for businesses handling sensitive data.
Contracts & everyday legal documents
Client agreements, quotes that are legally solid, collaboration and subcontractor agreements, website legal notices, reviewed or drafted by a legal professional, readable by a human.
The Business Legal Starter Pack
Launching or freshly registered? Get the complete legal foundation in one go: terms & conditions, privacy notice, client agreement template and website legal notices, all consistent with each other and tailored to your activity, at one fixed price.
Hi, I’m Fanny
I’m a French-qualified legal professional based in the Netherlands, with a PhD in Private International Law and a CIPP/E certification in European data protection. I’ve worked in law since 2006.
I do for small businesses what large companies have entire legal departments for, at a scale and price that fit a one-person business. I work in English and French with clients across the Netherlands and the EU, and I know first-hand what it’s like to build a business in a country that isn’t the one you trained in.
How I work
Plain language
A contract you don’t understand doesn’t protect you. Every document I deliver is one you can actually read.
Fixed prices
You know the cost before we start. No hourly-rate anxiety.
Small-business scale
No 40-page frameworks built for corporations, just what the law requires from a business your size, done properly.
