Earlier, you could read about 10 Dutch scaleups looking for growth talent, and about 10 hiring scaleups with home base in Amsterdam. Now, let’s turn our attention to hiring legal tech startups in the Netherlands.
This list first ran in December 2021. We rechecked all five in July 2026: every one of them is still trading and still hiring, but one is no longer the independent startup it was when we wrote this, and two have quietly grown into something bigger than a single product. Here is where each one actually stands, and what that means if you are thinking about applying.
Virtual Vaults
Virtual Vaults is a virtual data room provider. They promise to make hard deals easy by offering safe, secure, and easy-to-use data rooms for the buy and sell sides of an M&A process. Deloitte, Allen & Overy, and ING are some of the big names they serve in the industries of consulting, legal, and banking, respectively.
Founded in Rotterdam in 2014, they became the Benelux market leader within three years and now run with a team of around 75. Two things worth knowing before you apply. First, the openings on their board skew commercial (business development, account executive, customer success) rather than engineering, so check what is actually live before you write your letter. Second, a data room business rides the M&A cycle, so ask in the interview how they held up the last time deal flow cooled. Definitely a safe house to enter. Will you knock on their door?
JuriBlox
JuriBlox is a cloud platform for legal automation: document assembly, process automation, contract workflows, and privacy documentation for lawyers, insurers, and Data Protection Officers. It was created as a spin-off from ICTRecht, the Dutch legal consultancy specialised in IT and internet law, where the software had already been in use and proven to be a success-driver. Founders Arnoud Engelfriet and Steven Ras split it out as its own business in 2015, and Niels Winters now runs it as CEO from the Coengebouw in Amsterdam.
They report 100+ customers and over a million documents generated, and they run an experimental arm, JuriBlox Labs, whose first project was NDA Lynn, an AI that reviews NDAs and is operated under Lynn Legal B.V. The honest read: this is a small, focused product company rather than a hypergrowth scaleup, so expect broad roles and few layers. Will you help them create the building bloxs of the legal cloud?
Stiply
Stiply is an electronic signature provider, saving time for their customers with a seamless signing process while eliminating the need to print documents just to sign them. That part has not changed. What has changed is the corporate wrapper, and it matters if you are hunting for startup energy.
Stiply launched its digital signing solution in 2016 and was acquired in 2019 by the InnovestIT Group, which renamed itself 4CEE in November 2021. Stiply is now one operating company inside that group, alongside Coforce, Diesis, Easy Systems, ICreative, and Tradeinterop (added in 2024), serving roughly 1,700 clients across financial and administrative process automation. In practice: the old stiply.nl careers page now redirects to the group careers site, so you are applying to a mid-sized Dutch software group with a startup-sized product team, not to a startup. That is a genuinely good deal for some people and a disappointment for others. Would you ste(i)p in?
PrivacyPerfect
PrivacyPerfect is a compliance management platform built around the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Thanks to them, privacy professionals such as Data Protection Officers, Legal Counsels, and Chief Information Security Officers get an easier regulatory compliance process: records of processing, DPIAs, and data breach registers, with workflow and reporting on top.
Founded in 2013, it took growth investment from Vortex Capital Partners (announced December 2017) and now calls itself a legal tech scale-up rather than a startup, working out of Stationsplein 45 in Rotterdam. It has also outgrown the GDPR box it started in: PrivacyPerfect is now one governance domain inside the broader GRCPerfect platform, next to SecurityPerfect, VendorPerfect, and AIPerfect, which is where the AI risk assessment work sits. One filter to apply first: their listed roles ask for fluent Dutch and English, so this is a hard no if you are an international who does not speak Dutch. Awareness around privacy is growing across the globe. Is this your perfect opportunity to get onboard?
Uitelkaar.nl
Uitelkaar.nl strives to provide relief for divorcing couples. On their online platform, following a step-by-step guide, couples are able to reach an agreement easier and quicker than through the traditional route, and part ways on good terms. It is a startup with a social focus, built by legal tech company Justice42 in early 2017 and based at Binckhorstlaan 36 in The Hague.
It is the only online divorce platform that meets the quality requirements of the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand (the Dutch Legal Aid Board), and in August 2025 it became the first party in the Netherlands to file a divorce request digitally with the court. The catch is size: the team is about ten people, openings are mostly legal and administrative plus regular legal, communication, and marketing internships, and the work is Dutch-language by nature. If there is nothing live, an open application or an internship is the realistic way in. Are you in favor of peaceful negotiations? See their current openings.
How to actually approach these five
Five companies, five very different bets. Virtual Vaults is the closest thing here to a conventional scaleup career step. PrivacyPerfect is a scale-up with a widening platform and a Dutch-language gate. JuriBlox is small, technical, and product-led. Stiply gives you group stability rather than startup upside. Uitelkaar.nl is mission work at a ten-person scale. Legal tech rewards people who can hold both halves of the word, so if you have the legal domain and can talk to engineers (or the reverse), lead with that in the first line of your application rather than burying it on page two.
