What does it take to build a successful legal career while never losing sight of the people you’re fighting for?

In this episode of The Firm Report, host Zach Hoffman sits down with Glen Ged of Ged Lawyers to discuss his decades-long career in law, the responsibility trial lawyers have to their clients, and why compassion has remained at the center of his approach to practicing law.

Glen shares his passion for inspiring the next generation of attorneys, including the lessons he has passed on to his own children and young people considering law school. He also discusses his work representing individuals in significant injury and mass tort cases, from water contamination and PFAS litigation to other major cases involving consumer safety and corporate accountability.

The conversation also explores how technology and AI are changing the legal industry, the importance of relationships and education within the legal community, and the determination it takes to fight difficult cases against powerful opponents.

Glen shares one of the defining stories of his career: taking on a devastating propane explosion case as a young attorney, investing heavily in the case despite being told he would lose, and ultimately securing a $10 million confidential settlement for his client. For Glen, the lesson goes beyond the result—it’s about genuinely caring for clients, refusing to treat people like case numbers, and believing that failure is not an option.
