Brian J Ladouceur JR

I met Atty. Ladouceur at a networking event around 2007-2008. Within a week of that meeting, my company had need of a good contract attorney to draft a standard service contract that could cover a custom product and its installation. He was prompt, courteous, and very capable, producing the contract... in less time than expected. In 2010, I joined a family to start a brand new business enterprise (really a multriprise, as it consists of several interconnected businesses). The family is the outright owner of the property and holds full possession of the business. I retained Atty. Ladouceur to produce a very streamlined employment contract to ensure I got full sweat equity for building the business, as I am performing 80% or more of all necessary actions (operations, vendor management, facilities maintenance, data management, etc.). Because I am am close friends with the family, having known them many years, they were very reluctant to sign anything (their rationale was that they think of me as their child, so why should they have to have a legal document?) and so we had to work the document down to a manageable length and simplified language. It took more than a year of three-way wrangling, with Atty. Ladouceur pushing to get me as covered as possible. In the end, they signed off, and I am now well-covered. If in future I need a lawyer, I will happily return to him.
