Legal counsel for consumer brands · Amsterdam

Legal counsel for brands that grow

As a growing brand you deal with legal questions every day, but hiring your own lawyer is a step too far (for now). With Lancee Legal you get an experienced, dedicated legal counsel on a flexible basis: someone who knows your brand and your market, moves quickly, gives practical advice and knows what matters for consumer brands.

  • Retail & wholesale
  • Trademarks & designs
  • Terms & conditions
  • E-commerce
  • Privacy
  • Product compliance

For consumer brands that are growing, but don’t have their own lawyer (yet)

I have worked in-house at an international watch brand for nine years. A supplier sending back your contract with their own terms, a retailer asking for exclusivity, a webshop that has to comply with new rules: that is my daily work. I handle it, without the overhead of a large firm.

Already have a legal team? Then I can add capacity: one fixed day a week, or temporarily during leave, busy periods or a large project.

About

Rosan Lancee

At a fast-growing, internationally operating brand, I built the legal function from the ground up. I now bring that experience to other brands.

I started my career as a lawyer at Allen & Overy: first M&A, then five years in IP and commercial. After a year as legal counsel at a listed media company, I became the first lawyer at an international watch brand.

There I went through every phase, from rapid international growth to a period in which costs were looked at more sharply. That is exactly when legal has to move with the business: prioritising, standardising and choosing carefully what to do and what not to do.

My daily work: distribution and agency agreements, selective distribution, deals with international retailers and suppliers, and terms and conditions. I use AI where it saves time, and help brands do the same, responsibly.
