House: 5 years!
House: 5 years!
Wow, to be honest, we were (also) surprised ourselves. This year House has been around for 5 years! House was founded in 2019 based on the vision that flexible legal work can be different and better, especially for the self-employed corporate lawyer, working from freedom and expertise for great companies and brands in a sustainable way. Customers can count on 'on-demand' legal support from enterprising and friendly legal counsel.
Our founder Maaike Roet has worked for many years as an employment law attorney-partner and as an interim corporate lawyer. House was created from her experiences and the drive to show companies that legal business support does not only have to be complicated, expensive and long-term, as well as the need to help other independent corporate lawyers with great assignments.
Over the past 5 years, House has grown into the 'go-to' partner for flexible corporate legal advice with a steady House Team of 30 legal counsels and a carefully selected flexible team of 100 independent corporate lawyers. We're going to celebrate that this year!

New vision House of Lawyers leads to new name: House. Legal for tomorrow
Written by Maaike Roet - CEO & Founder House
House. Legal for tomorrow is the new name of House of Lawyers. This name change is the result of their new vision for Legal.
"We believe that with legal we can contribute to a better world for tomorrow," says Maaike Roet, CEO and Founder of the legal services provider. "We support companies that operate sustainably and make an impact. We do that by deploying flexible legal counsels."
The Why
“As a legal counsel with the law at your disposal, you have the ideal position and 'tools' to initiate positive change," continues Roet. "There is a growing group of businesses and impact organizations that are forming the global movement for a more just and sustainable economy. For example B-Corps; these are companies that believe it is important to pursue not only financial value, but also value for people and the environment.”
“House. Legal for tomorrow wants to make a positive impact on the world by supporting these companies in the legal field. We believe that the time is ripe for it and that society also expects from legal counsels to take a step forward. For example by implementing the 'UN Sustainable Development Goals' in a company's code of conduct."
New name and look
"We felt that we also needed to reflect this new vision and mission in our name and appearance. This resulted in the name House. Legal for tomorrow, but also a new corporate identity and website. With our House Talks on impact and innovation in legal and with our legal blogs, we will continue to pay attention to this important vision and mission.
