Established · Wilmington, Delaware
Hirsch Meisel LLP delivers rigorous, cross-border legal counsel to businesses, executives, and institutions across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
What We Do
We bring focused expertise across five interconnected disciplines, allowing us to handle complex matters that span legal domains and international borders.
From entity formation and governance to mergers and acquisitions, we counsel businesses at every stage of their lifecycle — with practical guidance that keeps transactions on track.
Hirsch Meisel LLP maintains strong working ties to Swiss legal counsel and European commercial law practitioners, giving U.S. and Canadian clients a decisive advantage when dealing with European counterparties. Our cross-border contract practice covers the full lifecycle of international agreements — from drafting and negotiation under U.S., EU, or Swiss governing law, to enforcement and debt collection when European clients fail to perform.
Switzerland's position as the world's foremost hub for international commercial arbitration — home to the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration and the ICC Court — means that contracts structured through Swiss jurisdiction carry exceptional enforceability across EU member states and beyond. We advise clients on how to structure agreements that maximize recoverability, and when disputes arise, we coordinate directly with Swiss and EU counsel to pursue outstanding debts, judgments, and contractual obligations through the appropriate European enforcement mechanisms. For U.S. and Canadian businesses owed money by European clients, we provide a clear, coordinated path to recovery.
When disputes arise, we advocate with strategic clarity. Our litigation team handles shareholder actions, breach of fiduciary duty, and commercial disputes in federal and state courts.
Precision drafting, thorough negotiation, and proactive dispute prevention. We craft agreements that protect your interests and stand up in court — across industries and legal systems.
We represent executives, corporations, and individuals facing criminal prosecution — including white-collar crime, regulatory violations, and corporate criminal liability — with tenacious, experienced defense.
Your matter rarely fits a single category. Our partners collaborate across disciplines to deliver integrated strategy — not siloed advice.
