Background
Andrew Snyder is an Emery | Reddy Attorney based in Austin, Texas. Although his practice now focuses on class actions, data breaches, and Qui Tam claims, Andrew has experience counseling in everything from criminal to public utilities to probate law.
During his law school tenure, Andrew studied abroad at Oxford University and served as a corporate extern for Hunt Oil Company in downtown Dallas, Texas. Passionate about service and charitable work, Andrew interned at the Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, a nonprofit organization that assisted indigent clients throughout the United States with various legal issues. While interning there, Andrew assisted drafting and filing a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. Andrew was an honoree of the Pro Bono College of the State Bar of Texas in 2017 for his efforts.
Andrew is a member of the Emery | Reddy Data Breach Team, bringing his wide-ranging experience to represent victims who have stolen and exposed data. Andrew was a founding member of Austin Bar Association’s data privacy group. He developed an interest in data privacy while in law school and presented at a conference in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018. He obtained his Certified Information Privacy Professional certification from the International Associate of Privacy Professionals in 2021.
Outside of work, Andrew is an avid soccer player who has held season tickets for Austin FC since its founding. When not enthralled by soccer, you can usually find Andrew at trivia nights around Austin or walking his two dogs, Ann Perkins and Ladybird, with his wife. On occasion, he can coax his mercurial cat, Cat, into sitting on his lap.
