A senior operator embedded directly with the CEO to resolve issues that resist conventional processes.
Snyder engages directly with the situation — rapid immersion, direct stakeholder engagement, and execution without committee — on matters where legal risk, business reality, and human factors are entangled.
The issue is important. The internal team is capable. But nothing is moving.
Most organizations have capable people. The breakdown is not competence — it is authority, discretion, and the combination of legal judgment with business execution that most internal structures cannot provide simultaneously.
The CEO needs a trusted operator with full visibility and genuine authority: someone who can engage directly, move without committee, and be trusted with the full picture.
Delegated judgment. Full visibility. Full accountability.
Snyder operates as a direct extension of leadership — engaged by the CEO, given full visibility into the situation, and empowered to coordinate across functions and stakeholders without a separate approval layer.
Rapid immersion into the facts and people involved. Direct engagement with key stakeholders. Clear framing of decisions and consequences. Work is done quietly, without unnecessary process or visibility.
Special situations that require resolution across legal, business, and human dimensions.
A direct extension of leadership. Litigation judgment in a business context.
The same qualities that make Snyder effective at trial — clarity under pressure, rapid prioritization, and willingness to make decisions — make him effective as a CEO-level operator. 25+ years of federal trial practice. Former Proskauer Rose litigator. Federal judicial clerk.

Engagements begin with a focused discussion of the situation.
Targeted intervention by a senior operator working directly for the CEO. Litigation is one tool among many — where legal action is required, it is integrated into a broader strategy.
Engagements begin with a direct conversation about the situation, followed — where appropriate — by immediate integration into the CEO's operating cadence. Initial discussions are confidential.
Costs Nothing.
We engage when the problem cannot be delegated internally and requires legal judgment and the authority to act. Briefly describe the situation. Do not send privileged or confidential information.
