Womble Bond Dickinson has announced the addition of Stephen Snyder as a partner in its business litigation practice group, based in Washington. Snyder’s expertise includes advising clients in the energy sector on transactional matters, as well as representing them in regulatory, compliance, and litigation matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and state regulatory commissions.
Snyder’s move to Womble comes from his previous role at Steptoe & Johnson LLP. His recruitment is expected to enrich the firm’s existing capabilities, particularly in handling complex business litigation matters that intersect with energy regulation. The firm itself highlighted this transition through a press release on Thursday.
The energy sector, known for its intricate regulatory landscape, demands astute legal strategies, and Snyder’s experience in managing high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional cases is likely to bolster Womble’s appeal to clients seeking comprehensive legal services.
The announcement was initially reported by Bloomberg Law, reflecting Womble’s ongoing commitment to expanding its litigation prowess by recruiting top talent with specialized knowledge in regulated industries.
