We also offer autonomy (with clarity of role and responsibility), client contact, and the opportunity to build and refine your litigation and professional skills. No book of business or Practice Development hours needed.

The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. is an award-winning boutique litigation firm focused on helping clients resolve their business and private legal disputes. We are the only litigation firm that strategically guides hard working professionals, executives, businesses, and business owners throughout Upstate and Western New York through a legal dispute to achieve resolution that fits their business, professional, and/or personal goals so they can keep control over what they have earned, especially when litigation distracts them from what they should be focusing on.

About Us

We’re not your typical firm, as you may have noted at the beginning of this posting. We provide autonomy with clarity within a supportive team environment. We believe in investing in and developing individuals both personally and professionally. We send our team members to actual skill training programs, not just run-of-the-mill CLEs. We have a culture that believes that we should spend quality time at work and quantity of time with personal interest and family and friends. We all believe in getting the job done, done well, and done correctly. We follow systems, processes, and procedures to achieve our clients' goals. We also invest heavily in technology, providing flexibility to work from anywhere and to make your work easier. Our team members are knowledge workers and we support them with the tools they need to be successful.
