Discover how we transform legal complexity into clear solutions
Ministry of Economic Affairs • January 2025
How do you help entrepreneurs navigate the maze of new sustainability regulations?
An increasing number of companies must report on their impact on people and the environment. The Ministry of Economic Affairs therefore asked Patroon to develop a practical guide: the ESRS Navigator. This guides entrepreneurs step by step through the new European reporting obligations.
Dutch Legal Tech • October 2024
Dutch Legal Tech Map
The Dutch legal tech ecosystem is growing rapidly, but an overview was missing. Together with Dutch Legal Tech, we created the first interactive map of all legal tech startups in the Netherlands. A living document that visualizes the dynamics of the sector and makes connections visible.
Dutch Government • July 2024
Visualizing the Dutch Debt System
The Netherlands has 730,000 households struggling with problematic debt. Many get trapped in what the Ombudsman calls "an obstacle course without a finish line." For the Interdepartmental Policy Research (IBO), we developed visualizations that capture this complex reality: both the system as a whole and its impact on individuals.
Municipality of Utrecht • January 2024
From legal document to understandable privacy statement
How do you make privacy statements understandable for more than 360,000 residents? The Municipality of Utrecht asked Patroon to transform their complex privacy statement into an accessible document. We developed an interactive privacy plaza that guides residents step by step through the various processing procedures.
Own initiative • December 2023
Sustainability Woven into Employment Law
How do you make sustainability a natural part of your employment contract? For a progressive organization, Patroon developed a 'green employment contract' that goes beyond standard provisions. By integrating sustainability into daily work practices, it becomes a natural part of the corporate culture.
LC Energy • August 2022
Better Contracts Build Trust
How do you build trust with farmers for installing solar energy systems? LC Energy asked Patroon to transform their legal documents into comprehensible communication tools. We developed a transparent term sheet and process explainer that lay the foundation for sustainable partnerships.
MH17 Foundation • 2021-2023
MH17 Trial Made Understandable for Next of Kin
