Ariel J. Snyder

Meticulously organized and attuned to the communication and working styles of her clients and deal partners, Ariel ensures all constituencies stay informed, on task, and in sync. Recognizing the value of her clients' time, Ariel endeavors to make transactions as turnkey as possible for them while also providing the information and guidance they need to stay abreast of a matter's progress and make informed decisions. Her ability to deftly navigate the challenges involved in keeping multiple parties and personalities all pulling in the same direction despite divergent priorities, concerns, or goals often makes the difference between a deal that gets done and one that falls apart.

In concert with her transactional work, Ariel also assists clients with corporate governance and operational matters, including entity selection and formation, corporate structure, commercial contracts, and other issues that arise at every stage of the business lifecycle.

Prior to joining Dykema, Ariel gained experience in commercial transactions, commercial and domestic litigation, and business and family immigration. In law school, she was an extern for U.S. District Judge D.P. Marshall Jr. of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and the Medical-Legal Partnership between Arkansas Children's Hospital and Legal Aid of Arkansas. She also served as associate research editor for the Law Review and a Rule XV Law Student serving indigent clients.
