Patricia Glaser, Partner and Chair of Litigation Department at Glaser Weil

“I don't think there's a necessarily a relationship between really good, effective media, and effective litigation, 'cause I think a lot of lawyers, unfortunately more than ever, are using the media to extort big settlements. Primarily because people, and I'm sure you see this, it's allegations have become evidence. And when the allegations, when you believe the allegations as sometimes they're horrific, sometimes they're less than horrific, you believe that, then you have to have a Mike or somebody akin to a Mike to counter that because it's horrible stuff.”

Patty Glaser is one of the most sought-after litigation lawyers in the country – and for good reason. As partner and head of the litigation department at the law firm Glaser, Weil in Los Angeles, she’s seen more than her fair share of controversy. Her list of clients includes Fortune 500 companies, major studios, real estate investors and developers, financial institutions, and high-profile entertainers and public figures. 

In this episode, Mike and Patty discuss their working relationship over the last 35 years and what they’ve learned from each other over that time. Patty also shares her thoughts about the recent legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, zeroing in on the mistakes she feels were made by their respective legal and public relations teams.
