Tower Snow Makes His Legal Comeback
Tower Snow has returned to law practice.
Snow got an early taste of troubled law firms and offices. He led Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison before its dissolution. The West Coast office he launched for Clifford Chance closed his doors. But the securities litigator remained undaunted, vowing last December to return to law practice after a 3½ year hiatus.
Now Snow will become a partner at the San Francisco law firm Howard Rice Nemerovski Canady Falk & Rabkin, according to the Wall Street Journal Law Blog and the San Francisco Business Times. Law Blog describes Snow as a “onetime hotshot litigator and controversial law firm leader.”
Snow explained in December that he was looking for a job because he missed law practice and his finances had taken a hit. “Like everyone else, I’ve been affected by the financial markets,” he told the Recorder. “At the same time I was expelled from [Brobeck] I was involved in a traumatic divorce and I saw my net worth vaporize.”
Howard Rice chairman Doug Winthrop said in a press release that Snow has “an extraordinary combination of securities litigation expertise, in-depth understanding of the business environment, a seasoned and practical approach to complex problems, and sophisticated and nuanced judgment.”
