Chocolate + innovation = a whole new level of 'plain English contract' - bravo to Tony's Chocolonely and Daniel Maats of Dutch law firm BvdV, Jane Pittaway

I absolutely love this innovation by Daniel Maats, of Dutch law firm Bruggink van der Velden, and Tony's Chocolonely .... and no tech in sight but of course innovation does not always have to involve tech....

Not only is it innovative from a legal perspective but its also a very clever marketing tool which sells Tony's culture to future recruits right from the get-go not to mention selling BvdV as an innovative firm too. I'd say that is a win:win:win outcome.

Thanks to Pim de Morree, co-founder of Corporate Rebels, for celebrating their achievement.

Corporate Rebels are on a mission to make work more fun - I'd love to see a UK law firm working with Corporate Rebels to bring more sense of joy and purpose to the business of law in the UK.

They worked to overhaul the boring contract most people are used to. They ditched overly complex legal lingo and eliminated many do this and don't do that clauses. Instead, they focused on highlighting company purpose and values, plus mutual trust and common sense. The biggest challenge? "To create a contract based on a completely different paradigm; to approach it from a position of trust, not distrust", said Daniel. The result? An uplifting, joyful and clear 1-page contract in true Tony style #employmentcontract #employment #contract #onboarding #recruitment
