Experience

With nearly twenty years of experience spanning major IP firms, in-house counsel roles, start-up creation, and firm management, Benoit brings a uniquely holistic perspective to intellectual property. He believes that IP should never stand apart from a company’s commercial reality, it should be a growth engine.

For Benoit, advising clients goes far beyond securing patents. He works side by side with innovators as if he were part of their internal team, ensuring they can fully leverage their intellectual assets at every stage of their journey. From identifying and claiming public subventions, to structuring fundraising with private investors, family offices, venture capital or private equity, to navigating fiscal aspects of IP, Benoit helps clients transform ideas into sustainable businesses.

He also guides companies in building global IP localisation strategies, negotiating licensing or asset sales, and making sure IP decisions directly serve long-term value creation. Whether a start-up, scale-up, or established enterprise, clients know they can rely on Benoit for integrated strategic counsel that bridges IP law, finance, and business development, unlocking the true potential of their science.
