Rechtsanwalt (attorney)

Prof. Andreas Meisterernst Managing Partner

Rechtsanwalt (attorney) and bar-certified specialist for administrative law, Andreas Meisterernst was born in 1966 and has been practising law in Munich since 1995. He worked for five years in a regional law firm specialising in IT and administrative law. This is where he started his intensive litigation practice before the civil and administrative courts and became increasingly involved with consumer products. In early 2000, he co-founded the law firm meyer // meisterernst, and in 2003 mm science GmbH (now RDA Scientific Consultants GmbH). Finally, he founded Meisterernst Rechtsanwälte in January 2012.

Andreas Meisterernst primarily advises companies from the food and consumer goods industries. His focus is on strategic aspects of product development, distribution including contract drafting, labelling and advertising with a particular focus on the impact of unfair commercial practices and European law. Andreas also advises on product safety issues, market withdrawal or recall situations (crises) and complex cases at the interface between law and science. He represents his clients before German courts, the European Court of Justice and in negotiations or application proceedings before German, foreign and European authorities.
