Tyler Meade

Tyler Meade mediates high-stakes commercial disputes out of Signature Resolution’s New York and San Francisco offices. His practice spans financial services, founder and shareholder disputes, securities litigation, civil RICO, class and mass actions, and cases involving crypto, blockchain, and other emerging technologies.

Tyler brings more than three decades of experience as a prosecutor, commercial litigator, and public company chief legal officer. Having occupied nearly every seat at the table in a high-stakes business dispute—as plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, CLO, and mediator—Tyler knows firsthand how eight- and nine-figure claims are pursued, how they are defended, and how they are viewed by a company’s board and C-suite. Most importantly, he understands how they are resolved.

Tyler began his career in 1993 as a prosecutor in San Francisco where he focused on financial crimes and appeals. He founded a litigation boutique in 2002 and built a nationwide commercial litigation practice over the next two decades, representing plaintiffs and defendants in equal measure. One of his jury verdicts was featured in the National Law Journal’s “Top Verdicts of 2009.” In a one-of-a-kind probate class action, he recovered millions for the University of California and dozens of charities. In the technology sector, Tyler represented Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in disputes chronicled in The Social Network and in the book Bitcoin Billionaires.

Tyler wound down his litigation practice and became a full-time mediator in 2022. In 2023, the Winklevoss brothers tapped him to lead the legal team at Gemini, their New York-based crypto exchange and prediction market (NASDAQ:GEMI). As Gemini’s CLO, Tyler led a global team navigating novel issues at the intersection of finance, regulation, and technology. He successfully resolved a billion-dollar black swan event, then took the company public in 2025 before returning to his mediation practice at Signature Resolution.

Tyler mediates with calm gravitas and a penchant for being creative, pragmatic, and dogged in pursuit of resolution. Thorough preparation is his hallmark.
