Our Mission
At Bailey Glasser, we believe the way to provide exceptional legal services is to have an extraordinary team of lawyers and staff with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Diverse and inclusive teams create a stronger organization that empowers individuals to produce the best results for our clients.
“Bailey Glasser's work requires us to understand, appreciate and anticipate diverse experiences and viewpoints,” said Benjamin L. Bailey, the firm’s co-founding partner. “We do a better, more creative job if our people bring different backgrounds and perspectives to the table. It’s also important to Brian Glasser and me, personally, that we continue to build this firm as a place where the very best lawyers and staff, from all backgrounds, including often-underrepresented groups, can excel and realize their potential.”
We live these values by promoting a culture within our firm of fairness and respect, where talented contributors have a path to long-term success. As part of that effort, we formally developed Women@BG to promote camaraderie and professional development for all women lawyers in the firm.
We actively recruit and mentor minority and women lawyers. One-third of our practice group leaders are women and half of our associates are women. We also support our lawyers and staff devoting time to organizations that promote diversity in the legal profession, as well as pro bono cases and causes that advance diversity and equality. Our recent work includes advising the Drum Major Institute on its corporate restructuring, co-counseling with Public Justice on Title IX litigation, and participating in the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights’ Election Protection Coalition.
Mansfield Rule Certification and the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity

Bailey Glasser is also a proud law firm member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity ("LCLD"). The LCLD is made up of more than 400 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who are working to build a more open and diverse legal profession. This year's Pathfinder is Panida Anderson who is a litigation lawyer in our Washington, D.C. office.
