Since joining the firm in 1988, George Snyder has focused his practice on commercial bankruptcy and insolvency law. Recognized as one of the leading bankruptcy lawyers in Pennsylvania and voted one of the best bankruptcy and creditor-debtor rights lawyers in the country, George works with both debtors and creditors in bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy workout matters. Although his practice is primarily regionally based, George has represented creditors and other parties in interest in bankruptcy cases in Central Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, New York and West Virginia. George's experience extends beyond bankruptcy law and he is regularly relied upon by businesses in a variety of industries and of varying size to provide legal advice on general corporate matters that are as diverse as negotiating and drafting agreements for the purchase and sale of assets to corporate naming rights agreements. George is a frequent panelist on bankruptcy-related issues for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and for the Annual Bankruptcy Symposium that takes place in Pittsburgh.
