Bailey & Glasser, LLP founding partner Brian A. Glasser has been named to Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America in recognition of his litigation and class action work.

This recognition is Lawdragon’s flagship honor, and it highlights 500 lawyers whose work defined the most important legal matters of the prior year. The list includes leaders in commercial litigation, class actions, M&A, white collar matters, capital markets, REITs, structured finance, securities litigation, employment law, international arbitration, corporate governance, antitrust, international trade, human rights, civil rights, insurance recovery, environmental law, technology, toxic torts, and more.

Lawdragon describes this year’s honor as follows:

This is our 21st year honoring the lawyers of now – those advocates who lead the way for clients, their communities, their firms. They are brilliant, impassioned and dedicated to the law and its practice.

That was tested as never before in the year that was – an unprecedented time of Executive Orders targeting some of the nation’s largest law firms and the livelihoods and talents of their lawyers. This guide is a celebration and tribute to the good that lawyers do, and it must be said that the skills and ability of lawyers to provide their services and for clients to hire those lawyers is fundamental . . . . We select the 500 through our blend of yearlong research, discussions with lawyers and your very robust nominations. Excellence is required, as, typically, is 15 years in law practice at the highest levels. From America’s first family of trucking litigation in Scranton, Penn., to the peaks of dealmaking in Manhattan, energy litigators and advisors in Houston and national security specialists in Washington, D.C., this 500 is robust with lawyers who inspire us and will shape the law for decades to come.
