Tyler Meade

Tyler Meade recently returned to his mediation practice after serving as Chief Legal Officer of Gemini, the New York-based crypto exchange, custodian, and prediction market (NASDAQ: GEMI). His time in the C-suite of a public company, combined with his background as a prosecutor and commercial litigator, gives Tyler a unique breadth of experience that fuels his success as a mediator.

Tyler began his career in 1993 as a prosecutor in San Francisco where he focused on financial crimes and appeals. In 2002, he founded a commercial litigation boutique and built a nationwide practice representing plaintiffs and defendants in high-value cases, including civil RICO and securities fraud cases, class actions, mass actions, disputes between founders, and cases involving emerging technologies. One notable jury trial win was featured in the National Law Journal’s “Top Verdicts of 2009.” In another representative case, he recovered millions for the University of California and dozens of charities in a one-of-a-kind probate class action. In the technology sector, Tyler represented Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in disputes chronicled in The Social Network and in the book, Bitcoin Billionaires.

Tyler began mediating business and commercial cases after becoming a fulltime mediator in 2022. In 2023, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the founders of Gemini, tapped him to lead its legal department. As CLO, Tyler successfully resolved a corporate black swan event, navigated regulatory headwinds, and then took the company public in 2025. He supervised a team of legal professionals in New York, London, and Singapore, and managed novel issues at the intersection of finance, regulation, and technology.

Now, Tyler returns to his full-time mediation practice at Signature Resolution, and will specialize in mediating business, commercial and financial sector disputes, class actions and other complex litigation, as well as cases involving emerging technologies, including crypto and blockchain technology.

Tyler’s diversity of experience over a career spanning three decades sets him apart from most mediators.

• As the top legal officer of a company that faced significant litigation, Tyler knows how corporate litigants weigh risk and evaluate settlement options.
• As a former Section 16 officer of a public company with a remit that extended beyond purely legal matters, he understands the challenges of running a business.
• Having spent the last few years at the center of crypto and blockchain technology, he has a facility with emerging technologies.
• With decades of experience litigating complicated cases, he is at home with complexity and instinctively distills complex disputes into their essential elements.
• As a former commercial litigator who consistently practiced on both sides of the “v”, he is fluent in the perspectives of plaintiffs and defendants.
• He has deep experience with eight- and nine-figure settlement negotiations, as counsel and as a mediator.

Tyler mediates with calm gravitas and a penchant for being creative, pragmatic, and dogged in pursuit of resolution.
