Johanan Lafeuillee LL.B, L.E.C is the Founder and Principal of CARICOM Attorneys-at-law, a growing regional law firm based in the Caribbean region which offers tailored legal solutions to its regional and international corporate and commercial clients.
Johanan is a member of the Barbados Bar Association, the Grenada Bar Association and the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Bar Association.
Johanan successfully manages and advises on a wide range of regional-wide and cross-border corporate and commercial matters inclusive of mergers and acquisitions, real estate investment and development, securities, tax, shipping & maritime, international business financial services, international debt collection, trusts & foundations, wills, estates, wealth management, among other areas.
After witnessing the back-end unravelling of real estate investors and developers as a direct result of poor structure and systems, and lack of proper guidance, Johanan sought to carve front-end real estate developer and investor solutions from scratch.
Most notably, she curated the proprietary Project Acceleration System™ that focuses on three pillars - (1) Profitability (viable product curation, trail to market, financing, etc),
(2) Protection (reducing legal exposures and Litigate Proofing™ a product offering), and
(3) Legacy (infusing client’s desired legacy and impact into the project to make it a project that attracts an ideal investor)
Other solutions include design of an in-house and external debt collection framework for major regional banks.
Education and demystification of the law is important to Johanan. She has delivered lunchtime seminars for the Wealth Management Division of a major Regional Canadian Bank on Barbados’ trust & foundations legislative framework. Johanan facilitates The Demystify Citizenship By Investment Project Ownership Power Lunch & Learn a Caribbean-wide education initiative focused on countries with residency and citizenship by investment (“RCBI”) investment incentive frameworks - specifically, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Kitts & Nevis and Barbados. The firm also sponsors the CARICOM Public Law Podcast - the leading public law Podcast in the region.
Most current, Johanan recently spear-headed the relocation of CARICOM Attorneys-at-Law headquarter operations to the shores of her home-country, Grenada. The vision is that the practice presence continues to grow throughout the region and beyond as the team seeks to provide quality service to its local regional and international private clientele.
