A lawyer in Montréal, Éliot focuses his practice on business law, with a particular emphasis on assisting social entrepreneurs in their collective-impact projects. He advises a wide range of clients, including social economy enterprises, foundations, community organizations and cooperatives. His work often involves complex legal structures, organizational governance, real estate and financing matters. Working with his clients often brings him to consider cutting-edge legal mechanisms, including social utility trusts. His approach is strengthened by years of litigation experience, which help him assess legal risks effectively.
Throughout his academic and professional journey, Éliot studied and worked abroad, notably in Paris, where he joined the asset management team of a leading international law firm.
His diverse experiences have given him fresh perspectives on the law and sharpened his analytical skills. He has also contributed to strategic discussions with major social economy stakeholders in Quebec and helped democratize financing tools tailored to this ecosystem, such as “community bonds.”
