Edward C. Marschner
Edward C. Marschner finds his greatest professional satisfaction in assisting people to bridge gaps - generally in business or financial relationships or cultural misunderstandings.
Service as a teacher in France gave Mr. Marschner a taste for imaginative solutions to problems arising across cultural distances. His early legal practice experience was with a multinational law firm, mainly in Paris but also in Rio de Janeiro and New York.
Our business clients call on Mr. Marschner for counsel in business structuring (acquisitions, joint ventures, public contract teaming, sophisticated transnational partnership relationships), in competition (antitrust) law, and in a wide range of management-driven matters.
Typically, Mr. Marschner's work involves aiding a client to develop in a new country or context a promising product, service or idea that has proven itself elsewhere. Usually the client is a corporate business; sometimes it is an individual inventor, a group of investors, or even a successful visual or performing artist or architect.
A past leader of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (New York State Bar Association's International Law and Practice Section), Mr. Marschner has been asked to address professional and client groups on such subjects as comparisons of American and French corporate laws, international distributorship and agency relationships and legal issues arising in connection with the arts. At the New York City Bar Association, he has served on the committees involved in international arms control and security affairs, in art law, in foreign and comparative law and in antitrust and trade regulation law.
Mr. Marschner also was a member of the French conseil juridique profession. He works regularly in the French language and travels regularly to France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. He is a graduate of Yale College (B.A. cum laude with High Departmental Honors, 1966) and Yale Law School (J.D., 1970).
