Our client (and Denzel Cadet’s brother)Nigel Dillard - Director of Coaching, Head Coach of University of St. Francis Men's Soccer at their alumni game.

Boring, profitable businesses are all around us.
These tree crews and landscapers at work are one example of the essential, durable businesses that Denzel Cadet and Cadet Legal have helped clients acquire this year.
At the start of summer, we advised a client on the acquisition of a Denver tree-care business built on loyal customers, skilled operators, and work that keeps neighborhoods safe and healthy.

The opportunity isn’t just growth. It’s ex*****on: stronger systems, consistent follow-up, a better customer experience, and thoughtful risk allocation between buyer and seller.

As summer ends, we’re preparing for the next round of closings. In the trades, the real work is where the strategy gets tested.

Some of my clearest ideas don’t come from doing more. They come from creating enough silence to hear myself think.

Morning person or late-night productivity person?

A general counsel’s work is never done because growth never stands still. Every conversation, contract, and strategic decision is a chance to move the business closer to its next objective (while also managing risk). The job is not just to say what can’t be done; it’s to help build the path that gets the company where it wants to go.
