Case study

Better Contracts Build Trust

How do you build trust with farmers for installing solar energy systems? LC Energy asked Patroon to transform their legal documents into comprehensible communication tools. We developed a transparent term sheet and process explainer that lay the foundation for sustainable partnerships.

Overview

The privacy plaza makes privacy understandable for all residents of Utrecht.

From complex to transparent

LC Energy builds solar energy systems on agricultural land. Partnerships with farmers are essential for this. We redesigned the term sheet and process explainer to make the entire collaboration process transparent. No fine print or hidden clauses, but clear communication that builds trust.

Instead of marketing materials, we chose a minimalist design that emphasizes the commitment to transparency. The documents are in A3 format, perfect for discussion at the kitchen table where changes can be made together.

The result is a set of documents that are not only legally sound but are also truly understood by all parties involved. This is how we make sustainable energy projects accessible to everyone.

With the new documents, we can now communicate much more effectively with our partners. We see trust growing immediately when we sit at the kitchen table.

The combination of clear language and thoughtful design makes complex contracts accessible. This project shows how legal design contributes to sustainable partnerships.
