Dan Snyder is counting on a Big Law team that includes the ex-Goldman Sachs Group Inc. legal chief to keep ownership of his NFL team as a House panel seeks to compel his testimony about misconduct allegations.
Karen Patton Seymour, who helped Goldman settle criminal investigations in the 1MDB scandal, is working with Snyder after returning to Sullivan & Cromwell last year, House Committee on Oversight and Reform documents show.
Reed Smith partners Jordan Siev, James McCarroll, A. Scott Bolden and Cindy Minniti are also helping Snyder, said a person familiar with the matter.
The House panel, the NFL and two state attorneys general are investigating Snyder and the Washington Commanders over employee allegations of workplace and sexual misconduct and financial impropriety. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), the panel chair, said June 22 she would subpoena Snyder to testify.
“The stakes are extremely high,” said Thomas Baker, a University of Georgia sport management and policy professor and former litigator. “There’s a clear and obvious effort to pressure the NFL to do something about Dan Snyder.”
In Seymour, Snyder has a veteran of high-stakes matters. While serving as general counsel and executive vice president at Goldman from 2018 to 2021, she helped settle probes of the bank’s role in the biggest foreign bribery case in US enforcement history.
