Benoît specialises in litigation, including civil, criminal and regulatory litigation before all Swiss courts and authorities. He represents HNWIs, corporate clients as well as foreign States.
Recommended for his “strong technical knowledge” (Legal 500, EMEA) Benoît acts in both domestic and cross-border/international commercial disputes and fraud litigation, typically dealing with both the civil and criminal litigation streams. An important aspect of this is formulating an efficient litigation strategy to maximise respective benefits, also providing external communication support when needed. He notably has vast experience representing victims of financial crimes before Swiss criminal authorities for asset recovery purposes.
Benoît also has a keen interest in asset recovery and insolvency matters as well as enforcement proceedings. He regularly domesticates foreign judgments, awards and orders, particularly in cross-border insolvency matters. Where required, he also advises on asset protection strategies before, during and after litigation.
