“I am often asked, ‘What is your approach to mediation?’ The answer is that it depends on the case. An approach that worked great in one case may fall flat in another. A mediator must remain nimble, attuned to the unique dynamics of each dispute—as well as the evolving dynamics on the day of mediation. Flexibility and creativity are essential, as is input from the parties."

Tyler Meade recently returned to his mediation practice after serving as Chief Legal Officer of Gemini, the crypto exchange, custodian, and prediction market (GEMI:NASDAQ). Leading a team of lawyers in Europe, the U.S., and Singapore, he managed complex issues at the intersection of finance, regulation, and technology. He took the company public in 2025.

Mr. Meade began his career in 1993 as a prosecutor in San Francisco, specializing in white collar crime and appeals. In 2002, he founded a civil litigation boutique specializing in business disputes and complex litigation. Barred in California and New York, he spent the next two decades representing plaintiffs and defendants in high-value cases around the country. One victory in a business-to-business class action was featured in the National Law Journal’s “Top Verdicts of 2009.” In the crypto sector, Mr. Meade represented Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in disputes chronicled in The Social Network and in Ben Mezrich's book, Bitcoin Billionaires. He became a full-time mediator in 2022 before moving in-house at Gemini.

With calm gravitas, Mr. Meade quickly grasps complicated issues and difficult dynamics. Having practiced on both sides of the “v” throughout his career, he understands the perspectives of both plaintiffs and defendants. He has deep experience with eight- and nine-figure negotiations, and is adept with emerging technologies.

Most importantly, Mr. Meade is creative, pragmatic, and dogged in pursuit of resolution.
