Marcel Vaarzon-Morel
Principal Solicitor

Marcel has two passions in life – boating and the law. A qualified shipwright, he owned and managed a successful boat building business for eighteen years before returning to university in order to fulfil a lifelong desire to pursue a career in law. As a solicitor, Marcel has worked at prominent commercial law firms throughout the Newcastle region, before using his endeavouring spirit and extensive commercial knowledge to establish Vaarzon-Morel Solicitors in 2008.

Sitting on the board of directors of the NSW Ship and Boatbuilding Association (SBA), and a member of the Boating Industry Association (BIA) and the Maritime Law Association of Australia and New Zealand (MLAANZ), Marcel remains an active and enthusiastic yachtsman, and a passionate advocate for the maritime industry. He regularly publishes legal articles in the BIA Logbook, Marine Business and Ocean’s Magazine.
