Our office between the lines

No lawyer language

We speak the same language as our customers, which are almost all business owners. So no fancy talk and long-winded texts. (Legal) advice on an A4, that idea. But then, of course, ironclad advice.  

Sharper on sustainable

We always advise our clients with an eye to the future. And so we also look at our own actions. How sustainable are we now and can we be better? For example, less printing, more planting. Your ideas are more than welcome.

Croissants and apple turnovers

Something sweet with coffee, we just love that. That also means we like to exercise. Because that gown, while it is wide, with all those croissants and apple turnovers, we want the scales to stay balanced. Just like the relationship between personal and work.

Legendary outings

From free mibo to office cabaret, we like to make it fun. If someone is going to do the Seven Hills Run, a few colleagues join in like this. We also go skiing together every year. And if you prefer to skip these outings? Even then you will feel at home with us.
