Dutch global player relies on Belgian legal tech
In over thirty years, the Dutch company TSC Life has grown into an international group with multiple entities. Corporify's solutions ensure the storage and digital centralization of all corporate housekeeping documentation.



The general counsel sought greater transparency in company structures and aimed to ensure that all information could be easily accessed from a single source. Given the small size of the legal team, it was also crucial to efficiently generate summaries and insights from the legal entity data.
Centralization of corporate housekeeping
TSC Life creates medical devices for patient safety and comfort in hospitals. It aims to enhance 25 million patients' lives annually with high-quality, efficient, and sustainable solutions.
Founded in 1993 as The Surgical Company, it expanded from the Benelux to a group of eight enterprises with 275 employees and a 75 million euro turnover, now operating in nearly eighty countries.
As general counsel, Georg Quak is responsible for the legal affairs within the group. Together with a supporting paralegal, he primarily operates from the headquarters in Amsterdam. Since the fall of 2023, his team has been able to rely on Corporify's cloud platform.
"We primarily use this tool for the storage and digital centralization of our corporate housekeeping documentation," Georg explains.
"TSC Life has grown into an international group of companies, but Corporify makes the structure clearly visible. We can easily find and consult all information—such as a set of articles of association or a deed of incorporation—in one central place."
'Especially for an international group with a limited legal budget, it is convenient that certain national legal matters are automated without requiring internal knowledge.
Interactive org chart
Corporify's interactive organizational chart provides an up-to-date overview at any time of how the various group entities relate to each other.
Georg Quak: "Everything is interconnected: a change in a specific part of the group structure immediately translates into an adjustment of the entire org chart. Unlike a static document, such a digital representation allows for the information to be accessed in a more creative and broader way, also from a specific perspective such as that of a subholding."
The organizational chart also helps TSC Life to review past situations.
"This is particularly useful for transfer pricing documentation," Georg illustrates. "When selling goods between group companies, you often need to look back two years to see how prices compared to third parties. However, our group structure changes so rapidly that the org chart looks different every year. It is convenient that Corporify allows us to look back at the situation as it was."

The ideal match
TSC Life's choice for Corporify's solutions was not coincidental.
"I asked my then-paralegal to research the different market players," says Georg. "We listened to several parties and also received some demos. Ultimately, we consciously chose Corporify. On one hand, because of the overall functionalities. Our main need was to centrally store and access our corporate housekeeping documentation. Corporify turned out to be the ideal match for this."
"On the other hand, we found it important to partner with a company that, while growing, remains manageable. With other, larger players, we felt like just an insignificant client, which could have implications for the level of service. Moreover, as a Belgian company, Corporify is easily accessible geographically, unlike, for example, the American competition."
"We are therefore very satisfied with the support. During the integration of the tool into our systems, the people at Corporify were very helpful in setting up the technical environment. They converted our existing org chart - which was still in PDF format - into a digital version, and assisted with uploading all documentation and creating an internal structure. Our admins also received user training, but thanks to the intuitive approach of this tool, everything is actually self-explanatory. If we do have a question, we are always quickly assisted."
