In recent years we have witnessed a profound transformation of the social sector, and VdA has vast experience advising clients on social innovation and entrepreneurship projects based on sustainable business models, where social or environmental impact is ensured together with financial return.
VdA has assisted its clients in putting together innovative legal solutions that allow them to develop social businesses “incubated” in their existing non-profit organizations, or through more sophisticated hybrid structures, which provide for the coexistence of a non-profit organization and a “social enterprise” and maximize synergies resulting from the social or environmental aspect of the project coupled with the associated business model.
