🎙 How I Lawyer #117: Allison Snyder - Construction Lawyer
👋 Welcome back to you and the 9,580 other members of the How I Lawyer Podcast LinkedIn Newsletter!
Last week I was in Irvine, California for the Association of Legal Writing Directors Biennial Conference where I was lucky enough to be a plenary speaker on Public Engagement. What a thrill it was to get to share my journey creating the How I Lawyer Podcast! The podcast also hit a pretty major milestone last week: 200,000 downloads.
I couldn't do it without you! Thanks to all of you for listening and please be in touch if I can make the podcast even better or you'd like to find a way to collaborate.
With that, I am excited to share today's episode with Allison Snyder, a long-time construction attorney, arbitrator, and mediator based in Houston, Texas. She has over 35 years of experience as a construction attorney specializing in construction and commercial litigation, arbitration and mediation, construction contract negotiation and drafting and the resolution of various construction claims/work-outs. After 22 years at the Law Firm of Porter Hedges LLP, she went out on her own in May 2023 and will continue to focus on her own ADR practice focused on the construction industry.
Ms. Snyder is a Fellow in the American College of Construction Lawyers and the College of Commercial Arbitrators. She has served as Chair of the State Bar of Texas Construction Law Section and as Chair of the Houston Bar Association ADR Section. She is listed as one of America’s leading lawyers in construction law by Chambers USA.
Allison was recommended by a longtime How I Lawyer listener who wrote the following: Allison is one of the absolute best construction lawyers in Texas, if not nationwide, and is a personal role model of mine. The first thing out of every single person’s mouth when her name comes up is invariably “Allison is so smart. . . Her demeanor is very calm and thoughtful, she comes across so well and authoritative without ever having to appear to push for it — accomplished, aggressive lawyers from all ages and backgrounds seem to just listen when she speaks." With that intro, how could I not interview her.
