Tobias Meili is a Partner in the practice groups Governance & Compliance, Life Sciences & Health Law, and Corporate & M&A. He advises clients, particularly in the life sciences sector, on commercial and corporate law, especially on corporate governance (including corporate responsibility issues), restructuring, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and contract and technology law. His area of activity also includes internal investigations as an examiner or investigator appointed by FINMA or companies.

Due to his many years of experience in a leading position in the legal department of a formerly SMI-listed multinational corporation and an international consulting and technology company, Tobias Meili is familiar with the structures, processes, and challenges of large companies. In his legal practice, he combines an authentic, pragmatic, and solution-oriented advisory approach with solid legal expertise and negotiation skills.
