Marc René DESCHENAUX is a Swiss jurist and a world-renowned expert in high finance.
He is the original founder of Greenberg Hornblower Deschenaux & Partners (GHD), an
International Jurist Firm with headquarters in New York and offices in Los Angeles and with
representative offices in Geneva Switzerland.
He is world widely regarded as the leading expert in Initial Public Offerings and a point of reference
in securities, financing and trading law.
His expertise covers contract law, international corporate, governmental financing, bank
syndication, non-profit law and global IP and securitization.
As an international financier, he is recognized for his state-of-the-art structures which have resulted
in 179 successful IPOs and 243 private offerings – around two-thirds of these in private equity, and
one-third in private debt.
He has organized several government loans, as well as the first national debt cancellation in history.
It is his negotiating skills and his background that set him apart from other lawyers. At the age of
15 years old he programmed a software (that was then used in a popular video game) for several
hundred thousand dollars. Which he wisely used to self-finance his education.
He then founded several companies. Including Beat Perfumes, S.A., which created the Michael
Jackson Perfume, and CD World Corporation. As President and Founder of CD World, Marc René
DESCHENAUX invented The MusicPointTM, a digital kiosk delivering a compact disc on demand.
Later, Marc René DESCHENAUX was chairman and founder of Investraders International
Corporation, an investment bank in Geneva (Switzerland) specializing in distributing private
offerings and organizing IPOs.
After graduating in law at the University in Geneva, he joined a traditional law firm Schwab
Flaherty & Associés and then quickly struck out on his own as a jurist.
Having worked as a non-bar lawyer (also known as jurist) for more than a decade, he discovered a
business model that permits Greenberg Hornblower Deschenaux & Partners to provide the legal
services and Swiss Financiers to deliver financing services companies need but cannot obtain
anywhere else.
Today, as “a man of action”, he applies the lessons he has learned in a lifetime of entrepreneurship
for the benefit of his clients.
One of these lessons is that litigation always represents a failure that could be avoided with proper
counsel.
Another lesson is that without failure there can be no success.
