Legal counsel for consumer brands · Amsterdam
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.
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
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.
