Elizabeth Snow has represented clients in all stages of litigation covering complex commercial claims and on constitutional issues. She has also handled a variety of pro bono matters related to civil rights, voting, and immigration.
Elizabeth’s representative matters include:
- SaveOnSP: Represents SaveOnSP, which offers cost-saving strategies for self-funded employers, in defending against claims worth hundreds of millions of dollars brought by Johnson & Johnson for tortious interference and violations of New York’s General Business law, concerning copay assistance strategies.
- American Federation of Teachers: Represents the Florida teachers’ unions and a university professor, who are all members of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in two challenges to Florida’s recent anti-union legislation limiting university professors’ ability to arbitrate the denial of tenure and other negative employment decisions.
- Smith v. Trump: Represents eight Capitol Police Officers who were on duty during the January 6 riots in a case that goes to the core of the peaceful transition of power in our democracy.
- Voting Rights Amicus Briefs: Filed an amicus brief on behalf of two disability rights organizations in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the appeal of a voting rights case and an amicus brief on behalf one of the same disability rights organizations in the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Eleventh Circuit in the appeal of a voting rights case. The Fifth Circuit brief supported the plaintiffs’ argument that the onerous and irrational requirements of a Texas state law imposed new obstacles for people with disabilities by creating opportunities for technical disqualification of mail-in ballots. The Eleventh Circuit brief supported plaintiffs’ arguments that an injunction against enforcing a birthdate requirement under the flap of the mail ballot imposed an obstacle for people with disabilities that would result in their disenfranchisement.
Prior to joining Selendy Gay, Elizabeth clerked for the Honorable Eunice C. Lee and the Honorable Joseph F. Bianco, both of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She was previously an associate at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
Elizabeth holds a J.D. from Columbia Law School, where she was a James Kent Scholar, received the Jeffrey Williams Memorial Prize for Critical Rights Analysis, and served as the executive notes editor for the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law.
