Brian Glasser Named One of “America’s Top 200 Lawyers” by Forbes

Bailey Glasser founding partner Brian Glasser has been named one of “America’s Top 200 Lawyers” by Forbes in its first-ever elite lawyer list. 

Forbes described its criteria as follows: “[t]he elite lawyers on this list were selected through a rigorous, multi-stage process of researching, evaluating and rating thousands of candidates, conducted by an editorial team with broad experience in law practice and the legal marketplace. The result is a collection of top lawyers involved in the most consequential cases, deals or legal trends in recent years . . . . they all share reputations for integrity, records of excellence—and Forbes’ recognition as the best in the business. What follows is a power list of lawyers whose skill, passion and purpose set them apart—for when you or your business need it most.”

In the last two years alone, Brian won a $5 million award against MyPillow CEO and election conspiracist Michael Lindell; helped lead the challenge to Johnson & Johnson’s “Texas Two Step” bankruptcy maneuver on behalf of people injured by J&J’s asbestos-riddled talc products; helped win dismissal of the bankruptcy of 3M subsidiary Aearo Technologies by a federal judge which thereafter resulted in the $6 billion settlement of more than 260,000 lawsuits brought by veterans and U.S. service members alleging that 3M military earplugs caused their hearing loss; and has won tens of millions of dollars for his clients in other lawsuits. He has also led the filing of hundreds of lawsuits on behalf of people abused as minors by the State of Maryland’s juvenile hall facilities via a new law passed in October 2023 that permitted previously time-barred claims by abuse survivors.  

Brian is a Rhodes scholar and founding partner of the firm who has fearlessly tried cases in 15 different states, including two mass actions and four class actions. In addition to this Forbes accolade, Brian is a 2024 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigator in America, is Band One ranked by Chambers & Partners, and has received many other awards and rankings that reflect his hard work and dedication.  

Brian co-founded Bailey Glasser 25 years ago, and today we handle high-stakes litigation and corporate matters with 18 offices across the country.

We thank Forbes for recognizing Brian’s work and commitment to his clients, and everyone involved in this process.
