Joan P Snyder

Practice Areas

After over twenty-five years as an advocate, Joan now serves as an arbitrator, mediator and facilitator. She brings to those roles her extensive legal experience, where she represented parties in litigation, in enforcement proceedings, in arbitrations and mediations, and in real estate and corporate transactions. In addition to her broad legal skills, Joan has special expertise in environmental, natural resources, occupational safety and insurance law, which were her primary areas of practice. This experience includes all aspects of state and federal cleanups; the defense of natural resource damages claims; litigation of environmental and insurance claims in state and federal courts; all environmental aspects of real estate and business transactions; and representation of clients in OSHA and environmental enforcement proceedings. A former industrial chemist with training in environmental engineering, Joan particularly grasps both the complexities and the practicalities of environmental dispute resolution.
