Does this sound familiar?
Legal issues cost you more than just money
Most small business owners face the same frustrations. The good news: it doesn't have to be that way.
Unpredictable costs
You have no idea what the final bill will be. You agree on an hourly rate, but you aren't given any further information.
Wasted precious time
The time you spend on legal matters is time you're not spending on your business.
Lack of Understanding
You want to start a business, but your lawyer doesn't really understand you. This creates confusion, and you can't move forward.
Loss of control
The legal process takes on a life of its own. You have no control over it and don't know where it will end.
Your attorney
A lawyer who understands your reality
My name is Bas Labee. I have nearly ten years of experience working at major law firms in the Randstad, primarily representing entrepreneurs. I understand their reality and know what’s at stake.
That’s what makes the difference. I understand what’s at stake when you have to make a decision. I take the pressure off you, contribute my legal and business expertise, and work transparently based on trust. That way, you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
Easy-to-understand language
No jargon. After every conversation, you'll know exactly where you stand.
Clear Expectation Management
You know in advance how much it will cost and how long it will take.
Strategic Input
Not just legal advice, but business advice as well.
“I take the burden off the business owner so he can focus on what he does best: running his business.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
Everything you need to know before you contact us. Can't find your question here? Feel free to contact us—there's no obligation.
The first consultation is non-binding. I’ll discuss your case, provide an initial assessment, and, where possible, a price estimate. Only once you decide to move forward will we make clear agreements about the costs!
I work with clear pricing agreements established in advance. Depending on the case, this may be a fixed fee (a set price, regardless of the number of hours), a success fee (a lower base rate with a surcharge in the event of a successful outcome), or a retainer fee (a fixed amount per period for ongoing legal advice). For interim assignments, the terms depend on the duration and nature of the assignment. That way, you always know where you stand.
A good lawyer often saves you money. A bad lawyer often costs you money. I work efficiently, communicate transparently about costs, and offer flexible fee arrangements. You pay for results.
You'll receive a response within 24 hours. For urgent matters, you can reach me directly by phone. No wait times, no being transferred.
It's possible. With many legal expense insurance policies, you have the right to choose your own attorney. That means you can choose your own attorney, and the costs will be covered by your insurer. Please contact me, and I'll check whether this applies to your case.
I speak your language, understand your reality, and contribute strategic insights. Nearly ten years of experience, three proven areas of expertise, transparent pricing, and prompt communication. That’s Labee.
Yes, subject to availability, I am available for temporary (part-time) interim assignments. Among other things, I can be engaged for specific projects, to substitute for a lawyer or legal professional (who is sick or on maternity leave), and to support an organization during busy periods. A fixed number of hours, either on-site or remotely, is also possible. Feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities.
