Max Meckstroth is a senior counsel in the firm’s Commercial Litigation, Construction, and Antitrust & Competition Practices. He is a devoted advocate who stands ready to pursue and defend his clients’ rights at all times. As an experienced litigator, Max prides himself on working closely with clients to understand their business objectives, identify and distill complex issues, and tackle disputes in a way that minimizes business disruption and financial uncertainty.

Max’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation matters, including sophisticated contract disputes, antitrust litigation, product liability actions, professional negligence cases, real estate litigation, and all facets of construction disputes and contracting. Max also has a robust creditors’ rights practice, frequently representing lenders and servicers in high profile commercial and residential foreclosure actions, as well as other insolvency, bankruptcy, and debt collection proceedings.

Before joining Foley, Max clerked in the legal department at UnitedHealth Group’s corporate headquarters in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Max gained valuable insights into the operations of one of the country’s largest corporations and he was instilled with a unique, client-oriented perspective to the practice of law—something he incorporates as trusted outside counsel for his clients today.
