Glenn M. Farnet

"I approach every litigation claim as if I were in my client’s shoes and then determine the most sensible and cost-effective way to proceed. I analyze their case from myriad points of view juxtaposed against the law and litigation procedure – all with a focus on safeguarding the best interests of their company in or out of court."

Glenn delivers effective advocacy for Fortune 10 and other energy companies and business enterprises involved in significant, high-stakes disputes. He draws upon his three decades of extensive courtroom experience with an understanding of the complexities of legal proceedings and the fact that there is not a single path to achieving the desired outcome.
