He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 2003, a Recorder in 2006, and a Deputy High Court Judge in 2008.[2] He was a member of the Insolvency Rules Committee between 2002 and 2012. He also edited several works on company and insolvency law.

Snowden was appointed a Justice of the High Court (Chancery Division) on 30 April 2015, following the elevation of Mr Justice Sales to the Court of Appeal, and received the customary knighthood the same year.[3][4]
