Amsterdam, April 2025 – Osborne Clarke is officially joining We Love SaaS as a community partner. The international law firm is known for its deep roots in tech and SaaS, and has already been a go-to legal advisor for many We Love SaaS members.
From deal structuring and fundraising to employment contracts and M&A, Osborne Clarke has helped dozens of founders navigate the legal complexities of building a SaaS business.
“We’ve been working with the Osborne Clarke team for a while now, and it’s been a great match,” says Johan de Wit, founder of We Love SaaS. “They have a strong track record in the SaaS domain, and more importantly, they’re not afraid to share what they know. That aligns perfectly with how we like to run this SaaS community.”
In 2024, Osborne Clarke was already on board as a partner for SaaS Funding Night, delivering sharp, hands-on advice to founders gearing up for a raise. This year, they’re doubling down:
– They’ll return to SaaS Funding Night on May 14.
– They’ll host Lunch & Learn sessions and Q&A roundtables throughout the year.
– Last month, they kicked off their content contribution with ‘VC Fundamentals’, a hybrid session where Geoffrey Beurskens broke down the mechanics of venture capital, from how funds operate to what founders should expect during a fundraising round.
“Legal knowledge is often seen as a black box, especially in the early days of building a company,” Johan adds. “Having a partner like Osborne Clarke allows us to democratize that knowledge. Whether you’re raising a seed round, issuing options to your team, or considering an exit, they know the terrain and are happy to guide the founders in our community through it.”
Osborne Clarke has built a reputation as a top-tier legal partner for fast-growing SaaS and tech companies across Europe. Their team in Amsterdam works closely with founders and leadership teams, helping them scale with solid legal foundations.
“We’re excited to contribute more proactively to the community,” says Geoffrey Beurskens, Partner at Osborne Clarke. “Whether it’s navigating funding rounds, managing governance, or preparing for a transaction, we know the questions founders run into. And we look forward to sharing those insights more broadly.”
With this partnership, We Love SaaS further strengthens its mission to give founders access to relevant, actionable knowledge, from the people who know the ropes.
More events and initiatives with Osborne Clarke will be announced soon.
