As a partner at Fruytier, a director and supervisor of several companies, Marcel is able to think along as an entrepreneur, and from that perspective he uses his extensive legal expertise to achieve the very best results.

Marcel Fruytier started his career as investment manager in a reputable private equity firm. In this function he participated actively in refinancing and creation of several IT-related, and various other commercial businesses. From 1988 to 1993 he was appointed head of the legal department of Wijsmuller , a major global enterprise specialized in towing and salvage.

He always aims to achieve the right solution. “I like to think out of the box”, I improvise, support new approaches in my client’s work but never without starting from a solid legal background”.
