Meet Orin Snyder, the deadliest trial lawyer in tech

Publish date: 2024-05-27

"So now you said 'likely' told. Do you recall just using those words?" Snyder, 50, has won big cases for Cablevision, Warner Bros. Music Group, and Capital One Financial Corp. He's become a favorite in the entertainment industry and represents such marquee clients as Bob Dylan, Jerry Seinfeld, and The Rolling Stones. He told The Hollywood Reporter in 2011 that celebrities favor "a warrior who thinks outside the box." Snyder, who works for mega law firm Gibson Dunn, has also proven himself in the tech sector. As counsel to Facebook and the company's founder Mark Zuckerberg, Snyder challenged the authenticity of the emails that businessman Paul Ceglia alleged were written to him by Zuckerberg, emails Ceglia claimed proved he owned 84 percent of Facebook. Instead of becoming a billionaire, he was arrested last year and charged with fabricating evidence.
