Glaser Weil

Glaser Weil is a full-service law firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Los Angeles. Its principal practice areas are litigation, corporate law, intellectual property and real estate, with particular strength in complex, high-stakes dispute resolution. The firm advises corporations, technology companies, startups and high-profile individuals, and describes itself as consistently outperforming larger competitors in difficult cases.

The firm operates from four offices - Century City (Los Angeles), Newport Beach, San Diego and San Francisco - and is a member of Meritas, a global legal network that extends its reach beyond California. Glaser Weil positions itself as combining the agility of a midsize firm with the capabilities of a much larger one.

For lawyers, the firm emphasises a collaborative, team-oriented environment in which partners and associates work closely together. Associates receive hands-on training and meaningful client exposure from day one. Compensation is merit-based, rewarding lawyering, initiative and creativity rather than billable hours alone. The firm also cites a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, a strong pro bono tradition, an open-door atmosphere and a business-casual dress code; culture is described as central to its identity.
