Dr. Moritz Meister represents national and international clients in litigation in state courts, in arbitration proceedings and in out-of-court dispute resolution.

One of his main areas of practice is advising on banking and financial disputes, in particular in connection with complex (derivative) financial products. He also advises on proceedings with criminal and tax implications such as Cum/Cum and Cum/Ex structures, corporate disputes and post-M&A disputes.
