Marcél Treurnicht

Marcél's practice spans a range of areas, including traditional private wealth structures, employee benefit trusts, unit trusts and innovative trust structure tailored for the digital economy.

With a strong international background, Marcél brings valuable experience gained during his years in Hong Kong, where he advised on private wealth structures to assist wealthy families with tax mitigation, asset protection and succession planning. His corporate trust experience includes advising listed companies on the formation and implementation of employee benefit schemes in preparation for initial public offerings and/or secondary listings.

In the digital economy, Marcél has worked with several of the largest decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) to develop trust structures that bridge the gap between traditional and digital economies while preserving decentralised principles. Additionally, he has leveraged Guernsey foundations to protect, administer and exploit intellectual property assets owned by DAOs.
