Gabe Meister is a seasoned legal advisor with over 20 years of experience as a dedicated technology lawyer. He founded The Law Office of Gabe Meister in early 2019 to help deliver speedy, cost-effective and practical guidance in support of complex tech and media transactions.

Gabe was part of Morrison & Foerster LLP’s Technology Transactions Group for 16 years. His practice as a MoFo partner in New York and Tokyo focused on critical Internet and technology deals, long-term services agreements (including ITO, BPO, SaaS and supply arrangements) and licensing transactions. Major corporate clients relied on Gabe’s substantial experience with a broad range of technologies and industries.

After MoFo, Gabe headed in-house, first as the NBA’s VP & Senior Media Counsel and later as EPIX’s SVP, Business & Legal Affairs. In each case he was responsible for overseeing a wide variety of technology and media deals covering all aspects of IP, licensing, services and distribution—and for guiding executives on key strategic decisions. There, he learned to appreciate the challenges of in-house counsel’s unique role as both consumer of outside legal services and trusted internal advisor.

Gabe received his B.A. in biologymagna cum laude, in 1993 from Brown University, where he was elected to Sigma Xi, and his J.D., cum laude, in 1998 from Harvard Law School, where he served as an Affiliate of Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society (now the Berkman Klein Center). Before law school, Gabe helped create novel computer-driven immunology research tools at Brown’s TB/HIV Research Laboratory. He is admitted to practice law in New York.
