Sagiure Legal

SAGIURE was founded by Rachida el Johari and Madeleine Molster as a 100% female driven law practice. Since 2014 SAGIURE is built on the principle of diversity leads to excellence. Our team members are all experienced professionals who studied, worked and lived in different countries and come from a variety of (cultural) backgrounds. Our team is diverse in terms of gender, age, mind-set and personalities. In our everyday work we experience the unique added value of each team member and how we complement each other in offering our clients the best level of service and quest to exceed expectations.

As we operate in an international environment, servicing clients from various countries and guiding them through the Dutch legal maze it is essential that we can be both responsive and culturally sensitive. Not because it is part of a marketing policy but because we are genuinely and inherently interested in where our clients come from and want them to have the best experience in their business dealings in and with the Netherlands.

At SAGIURE we work and live by values of teamwork, integrity, transparency and purpose driven professional engagement. We offer internships to students to share our experience and strive to kindle their passion for the legal profession in a fair and sustainable environment. We expect drive, commitment and a consistent desire to improve while never settling for average. In return we offer our interns a solid basis that prepares them for a successful career built on respect for peers, care for clients and having fun along the process.

We feel blessed that we got the opportunity to study law and utilize our knowledge in a profession that we love. We realize that in some instances seeking justice is hindered by the costs it entails. In an effort to give back to our community, team SAGIURE ensures that each year each of our team members handles at least two pro bono cases. We select the cases on the basis of complexity and occasionally the client has already sought legal advice elsewhere without achieving a (satisfactory) result.

Our selection process is based on the following steps:

1. the case represents legal injustice, demonstrates a level of complexity that requires labor law expertise and may also involve tax or corporate law input;
2. the client has limited financial resources and is not entitled to legal aid;
3. based on a high level assessment SAGIURE concludes that the team can provide added value through our expertise;
4. we establish that there is no conflict of interest with our existing clients.

We handle these cases either free of charge or at a significantly reduced rate. We take pride in the opportunity to utilize our experience and legal expertise to assist those who would otherwise be unable to retain such counsel.
