About us

Our WHY

We believe that having the right person in the right position generates energy and leads to greater happiness. That’s why at Legal People, we have been working with great pleasure and dedication for nearly 35 years to fill legal positions for our clients. As market leaders, we set the bar high: every assignment is successfully filled. The way we achieve this has evolved over the years into the best practice in our market. Our approach is proven effective by the fact that we have a 100% success rate in filling corporate legal positions. Even in the scarce market for lawyers, we manage to successfully fill more than 90% of these assignments. We achieve these results through intensive collaboration within a team of honest and driven consultants, all of whom have a legal background, supported by a group of highly educated and ambitious professionals.

Non-Profit Organizations and Social Enterprises

In addition to our work for commercial organizations and governments, we noticed an increasing demand for legal support from non-profit organizations and social enterprises. We have been performing assignments on a pro bono basis for non-profit organizations for several years and also work for social enterprises. For these groups, we offer a special rate.

We are customers of various social enterprises ourselves and actively help in spreading the awareness of the sustainable initiatives that we support.

Culture

We also support the cultural sector in Amsterdam through our Rijksclub membership at the Rijksmuseum and membership in the corporate pool of ITA (Internationaal Theater Amsterdam). Through these memberships, we contribute to the annual sculpture exhibition in the garden of the Rijksmuseum, which is accessible to everyone, and we help facilitate one of the ITA’s livestreams, enabling ITA to reach a new (international) audience.

Sustainable Employee Engagement

Legal People believes in a sustainable approach to business, the world around us, and towards our employees. To promote the sustainable employability of our staff, Legal People aims to encourage healthy and sustainable behavior in the workplace so that employees can continue to deliver top performances in the future and lead long, energetic, and happy lives. To achieve this, Legal People has twice conducted a vitality program for all employees, guided by the health and performance organization Lifeguard. The “Legal People Vitaal” program focuses on energy management and behavioral patterns throughout the organization to enhance the sustainable employability of our employees. Thanks to these programs, we have gained insights into how our employees can operate more effectively within their strengths and have accordingly adapted our organization to support this. Especially now, in the growing economy, pressure on the work floor is increasing and this topic is more topical than ever.
