How we help NGOs:
Establishment and Governance
We help choose the right legal structure and advise on drafting statutes that align with your organisation's mission and objectives.
We provide advice on setting up a transparent governance structure, ensuring accountability both internally, for charity purposes and towards donors.
Compliance
Dutch charity status - we assist with everything required for ANBI status if you are registered as a charity (ANBI) in the Netherlands.
And ensure your NGO complies with Dutch laws and regulations.
Partnerships and Contracts
....with donors: Receiving donations often comes with conditions. We help ensure your organization is well-equipped to handle these properly.
...with partners: Collaborations with other organizations require clear and watertight contracts. We draft contracts and assist you in negotiations to mitigate risks.
…And all other legal matters
Specific to NGOs: such as compliance with GDPR requirements when processing donor personal data and drafting volunteer agreements.
General legal services: Additionally, we are a full-service law firm and offer numerous standard contracts that you can use yourself. For example, employment contracts, service agreements, freelance agreements, NDAs, and General Terms and Conditions.
