Dr. Manuel Meyer

Manuel focuses on M&A, private equity (including venture capital), corporate reorganizations and post acquisition integrations, with a particular emphasis on cross border transactions and complex transaction structures. He regularly advises strategic investors, private equity sponsors and multinational corporate groups throughout the full transaction lifecycle—from structuring and execution through integration, carve outs, and internal reorganizations following closing.

His practice is characterized by a strong commercial perspective and hands on deal experience. Manuel received the Client Choice Award for M&A Switzerland (2017), with clients describing him as “a fierce negotiator” whose expertise “extends well beyond mergers and acquisitions,” and praising his ability to deliver advice that is “fast, reliable and consistently top quality.”

Manuel acts regularly as lecturer and is a frequent author of articles and commentaries on M&A and corporate reorganization topics.
