MAES notarissen

What MAES notarissen does

MAES notarissen operates as MAES notaris B.V., a Dutch private limited liability notary firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Vlaardingen, with additional business hubs operating in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. The firm serves three principal client segments — individuals, businesses, and (semi)government bodies — primarily within the Rotterdam-The Hague Metropolitan Area, and delivers three core service lines: personal and family law, corporate law, and real estate law. The practice operates under the statutory notarial license regime of the Netherlands, which confers exclusive authority over the execution of authentic deeds and certain legally required transactions.

The firm's product surface includes the My Notary File (Mijn Notarisdossier) digital client portal for document management and ongoing client interaction, supplemented by a newsletter operating since 2020, free educational events, and industry visibility through participation in PROVADA 2026, the Netherlands' principal real estate trade event. The technology stack described is conventional client-portal and content-distribution tooling without disclosed AI or advanced automation components.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid commercial model. Time-based fees apply to bespoke matters with notary partner hourly rates reaching €450. Fixed fees cover routine transactions in a range of €499–€1,750. Monthly subscription tiers — Start Up at €999, Scale Up at €3,999, and Corporate at €7,999 — convert ongoing corporate legal work into recurring contractual revenue. Alternative fee arrangements supplement these structures. The deliberate introduction of subscription tiers signals a strategic shift from purely transactional notarial billing toward predictable, recurring business-to-business legal services revenue.
