Alexandra Schnarre

Associate
Overview

With a passion for research and fact finding, Alex helps commercial litigation clients achieve the best outcomes possible.

Alex represents clients in commercial disputes—primarily breach of contract cases—in state and federal courts across the country. She has worked in federal jurisdictions from coast to coast, defending clients from all of the firm’s industry groups, and she has developed a special focus on intensely document-heavy cases. Her detail-oriented nature has made Alex a perfect fit for litigation requiring extensive discovery, and she works frequently with the firm’s eDiscovery Solutions team.

Alex has long excelled at research and fact gathering, and she chose to pursue a career in litigation because she loves taking the results of the discovery process and assembling a compelling case narrative. She quickly developed a reputation at the firm as a go-to attorney for organizational skills and management of vast troves of information and evidence.

Known for her diligence and her ability to catch tiny details, Alex enjoys diving deep into client businesses. Clients can be confident that Alex is firmly on top of their matters, and they also appreciate her streamlined-but-informative communication style: Alex understands that all clients are different and come to cases with a different level of legal knowledge, and she knows how to support both experienced in-house counsel as well as internal employees with no legal background. She places a high priority on building relationships, communicating realistically about outcomes and, of course, achieving the best results possible.

Outside the Office

Alex loves figure skating, football and fashion.

She has spent years on the ice rink, previously competing in synchronized skating, and a passion for Big 10 college football runs deep in her family. Alex combines her enthusiasm for fashion with the concern for the environment that motivated her undergraduate Environmental Studies major: she especially enjoys secondhand shopping and discovering and supporting sustainable brands that prioritize repurposing clothing.

Community Leadership

Alex is on the junior board of the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition of Missouri, an organization she has supported for more than 10 years. She has served as a regular volunteer and store manager for [Re]Fresh, the coalition’s initiative to offer free fashion to local children in the foster system.
