About Brendan P. Glackin

Brendan P. Glackin chairs the firm’s antitrust practice group. He has practiced antitrust law for over two decades and has tried more than 20 civil and criminal cases. He served as trial counsel in the liquid crystal displays (LCDs) price-fixing litigation ($470 million in settlements); and the Norvir antitrust litigation. He also served as lead trial counsel for the firm in the titanium dioxide price-fixing class action ($163.5 million in settlements), which settled days before jury selection. Mr. Glackin also recently served as lead trial counsel by a coalition of 39 state Attorneys General prosecuting Google for anticompetitive dominance of Android app distribution. He worked in that matter as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Utah.

Mr. Glackin currently serves as lead counsel in a proposed federal class action challenging the 2020 merger of T-Mobile and Sprint . The merger reduced the overall number of mobile carriers in the U.S. from four to three and thereby fundamentally altered and reduced competition between the three remaining behemoths: the new T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. The lawsuit seeks damages and the restoration of competition in one of the world’s largest and most concentrated markets. He also leads the firm’s representation of insurers against U.S. Anesthesia Partners, a private-equity-backed venture that has consolidated hospital-based anesthesia in Texas.

Mr. Glackin has led or made major contributions in past cases totaling over a billion dollars in recovery for consumers, workers and small businesses. In addition to his trial work, Mr. Glackin led the firm’s representation of consumers in the lithium ion batteries price-fixing case ($115 million recovered) and the generic enoxaparin monopolization case ($120 million recovered). With others he received a 2016 “California Lawyer Attorney of the Year” (CLAY) award for his work in a case against drug makers for blocking access to affordable generics versions of the blockbuster drug Cipro ($399 million in settlements).

He also earned, with others at the firm, a well-deserved 2019 “Outstanding Antitrust Litigation Achievement in Private Law Practice” award from the American Antitrust Institute (AAI) for his work on Seaman v. Duke , a class action case around wage suppression, challenging a secret no-hire agreement between the Duke and UNC Medical School Deans which led to a final settlement of $54.5 million in 2019. AAI similarly honored Mr. Glackin 2017 and 2020 for his work in other cases. Mr. Glackin also successfully argued class certification in the In re High Tech Employees Antitrust Litigation ($435 million recovered).

Mr. Glackin regularly serves as faculty for National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA), the pre-eminent trial advocacy training program in the United States. He annually teaches negotiation skills for the Practising Law Institute (PLI). He serves as a Vice-Chair of the ABA Antitrust Section’s U.S. Policy & Comments Committee, and helped re-establish the Executive Committee of the Antitrust Section of the Bar Association of San Francisco. He has been a regular panelist at the ABA Antitrust Section Spring Meeting, the pre-eminent gathering of antitrust lawyers in the world, as well as AAI’s annual private enforcement conference. He routinely speaks, publishes, and teaches on antitrust issues.

Mr. Glackin has been recognized as one of Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America consistently from 2019 to 2024, and The Daily Journal named him a Top Antitrust Lawyer in California in 2020. He has also been listed as a “Super Lawyer for Northern California” from 2013 to 2024.

Attorney information displayed in this FAQ section is based upon information the lawyer has included on their profile, in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
