Speed, availability, straight talking, professionalism, and a hint of stubbornness.

These are all concepts that apply to de Merkplaats - they are not just empty words, but an everyday reality.

We believe that legal service provision is more than just giving advice or registering trademarks - this is just the tip of the iceberg. Our aim is for us all to work together with a 'feel good factor' and to derive mutual benefit from our co-operation, because that is precisely why we do this.

The sponsorship of De Fietsdienst should also be viewed in that light. Set up in 1992, De Fietsdienst was the first cycle courier service in the Netherlands. The aim of the initiative was city-friendly transport. Hence the slogan:

Fast, quiet and clean.

De Fietsdienst was started as a job opportunity project. The couriers were able to use the job to adjust to daily work patterns and build on their future as a courier, planner, mechanic or administrative worker. Since De Fietsdienst was founded, many hundreds of couriers have moved on to permanent, paid work.

De Merkplaats is a strong supporter of De Fietsdienst. This is also why de Merkplaats has for many years been the sponsor of De Fietsdienst. Check out www.defietsdienst.nl for more information on this successful project.
