Sandpiper Principals

The Glassers are the creators of important educational, publishing, and business development concepts that have been highly successful over the past three decades. The Glassers have started and sold three businesses in the legal industry.

The Glassers have led the way in innovative business management and substantive law education in the legal field. At Glasser LegalWorks, which they founded in 1995, they initiated and ran a series of trailblazing courses including The CIO Forum, The Executive Director and CFO Forum, The Law Firm Leaders Forum, The Marketing Partner Forum, The Practice Group Management Forum, and numerous other institutes attended by thousands of law firm managers and attorneys every year. They have organized more than 1,500 conferences, seminars, and institutes. Recently they organized the first Executive MBA program for law firm managers at SUNY Stony Brook University College of Business.

This dynamic duo has published more than 700 books in the legal and business fields, and more than 100 newsletters, many of which they have created. They started the “Legal Times” newspaper in Washington, D.C., which they sold with their investors to American Lawyer Media. They have assisted many private clients with business development projects including law firms, accounting firms, software and technology companies, financial printers, financial institutions, and electronic discovery companies.

In 2004 the Glassers and their investors sold Glasser LegalWorks to the largest company in the field,West/The Thomson Corporation.
