[3] She then entered private practice with her husband Lauaki Jason Annandale and served as President of the Samoa Law Society until 2017.
[4] Savalenoa played a key role in the 2021 Samoan constitutional crisis, representing the caretaker regime of Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi in court cases over the women's quota, the head of state's attempt to call new elections,[7] and other issues of constitutional interpretation.
She refused to participate in a key hearing on 23 May to overturn the head of state's purported suspension of parliament, then attempted to disqualify Chief Justice Satiu Simativa Perese and all other members of the Supreme Court of Samoa from hearing election-related cases, alleging bias and "conflicts of interest".
[16] She subsequently told Prime Minister Fiamē Naomi Mataʻafa that she would not defend the judiciary from attacks by the HRPP because of the "sensitive political climate".
[18] On 2 September 2021, Savalenoa was dismissed from office due to her disrespect for the Supreme Court of Samoa and her failure to defend the judiciary.
