Using a step-by-step approach, we offer our clients targeted – innovative – solutions to their challenges with a legal component. We always add value and help you achieve your goals. And we do that. climate-positivewith an eye for man and society.

The Lean Startup
Let's start at the beginning. Our founders Paul and Dries read about the LEAN principles and philosophy from Toyota and the following book The LEAN Startupfrom Eric Ries, they were inspired by this and decided to build a law firm from scratch. Without unnecessary ballast, without looking at old traditions, and with a pure focus on delivering added value.
The 3 steps in The LEAN StartupHave we converted to the 'Create-Measure-Learn' principle? Unlike traditional law firms, we innovate, we devote ourselves fully to efficiency, and in product development we do not wait until something is 100% finished and certain.
Create-Measure-Learn
We build products and develop services that we see, feel and notice are needed by our relationships. We create a so-called minimum viable product (an MVP) (CreateThen we continuously measure and analyze the data and/or experiences.Measure). What do our relations think of it? Which functions work? Which services are missing? We learn from that (Learn) to subsequently arrive at a new, customized version of the product or service. Then we come to the first step, Create. In this way, the Create-Measure-Learn cycle has a self-reinforcing effect.
Every new cycle gives new insights and gives our team the opportunity the product, the services or itself to to improve.
Law made simple
The view of LEAN LAWYERS on the legal playing field is therefore ambitious and forward-looking and translated into our slogan ‘Law made simple‘. Our payoff, our promise, something we strive for every day of the week. With this, we have rapidly grown from 2 founders in a small basement in Utrecht to 15 LEAN-ers today in a thriving office environment with an experience centre.
