“I have worked with Stan Benda intermittently for about twenty years. In my opinion, Stan is the most competent lawyer practicing contract law that I have ever known.  Stan has a unique capability to draw upon a near infinite portfolio of analogies to assist in getting his ideas and concepts across to the legally challenged, such as myself.  He has a wonderful sense of humour that can provide a real lift during those long hours of negotiation, or other legally related delights.  In summary –  Stan is a highly competent lawyer, and a good person!”

“Stan provided, for almost twenty years, superb IP and contract law advice and training to Agriculture Canada’s Research Branch management and scientists. He’s a great resource”

“Stan is not only great IP lawyer but also a great teacher. During the 15 years that I worked with Stan I learned everything that I need to know about contract law. Stan helped us through countless negotiations and contracts and helped train many of our staff. By drawing upon real life experiences to get his point across he demonstrated his depth of knowledge and experience and made learning fun. When he left our organization, he left a huge hole.”
