Dr. Marcel Bartnik is a partner at Dupont Partners and heads the firm's Investment Funds practice. He has been working as a lawyer in the Luxembourg investment funds space since 2005, providing practical and in-depth legal and regulatory advice on the structuring, establishment and maintenance of Luxembourg regulated or unregulated investment funds.
