Theodore R. Snyder

Ted's many successful courtroom results include the summary judgment dismissal of a ten-figure RMBS claim against a mortgage originator and the dismissal of a $200 million market manipulation claim against an investment bank and an executive. He also defended multiple securities exchanges in class action litigation arising following the publication of Michael Lewis's "Flash Boys."

Ted has handled investor and employment claims in dozens of cases for many of the largest broker-dealers and investment advisors, including claims relating to options transactions, margin, operational issues, compensation disputes, and general fraud and unsuitability claims. He has obtained dismissals in numerous seven-figure cases involving complex issues, including a case tried over 40 days after which the arbitration panel unanimously dismissed a $200 million claim involving the sale of auction rate securities.

Ted has represented clients in numerous enforcement proceedings initiated by financial industry regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, and state regulatory bodies. He defends public companies, broker-dealers, investment advisors, and individuals against claims brought by regulatory agencies.
