Jeremy Glenn was interviewed by Law.com for their "How I Made It" column, reflecting on his career and sharing advice for aspiring partners. Jeremy highlights his journey, from choosing Cozen O’Connor for its national platform to his leadership as Chicago office managing partner, member of the management committee, and member of the firm’s Board of Directors. He emphasizes the influence of mentor Joe Tilson, sharing insights into client service, dedication, attention to detail, and the value of civility.

Jeremy offers advice and emphasizes focusing on technical legal skills, relationship-building, and engagement in mentorship.

All these things have added joy to my career and, in my view, are valuable tools for career planning and navigating inside a law firm."
