About the firm

A small firm with a long view of Dutch business.

We started MockSMB because Dutch small and mid-sized businesses deserve the calibre of counsel usually reserved for top-tier corporate firms — without the meter, the layers, or the theatre. Eleven years on, the brief has not changed.

In a sentence

“Legal advice that fits in your week,
in your budget,
and in your business plan.”

Most of our clients have been with us for over five years. We work to keep it that way.
