Robert Glennie
Co-Founder & Executive Director
Robert was one of the youngest partners ever appointed to a leading U.K. law firm, which he worked for over 20 years and, ultimately, led. As Chairman of that law firm, he led the firm’s partners through a strategic and operational review, which resulted in the firm becoming the core U.K. legal practice within KPMG’s global grouping of law firms. When he was CEO of KLegal International (the grouping of law firms with more than 3,200 lawyers in more than 60 countries) he began the task of transforming that grouping into a cohesive international business sitting alongside KPMG.
When regulatory changes forced KPMG to change its business strategy of building a global group of lawyers to sit alongside its global accountancy business, Robert then launched a consultancy to assist law firms with operational challenges and help entrepreneurs and businesses negotiate and manage large legal transactions.
Robert’s knowledge of and experience in strategic change in the legal services market led to the co-creation of ContractPodAi. He has written several articles about how lawyers can improve business outcomes by embracing change and has spoken about “managed legal services” and legal outsourcing at conferences in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. In addition, he is an enthusiastic ambassador for the development and application of new technology that helps deliver commercial legal services.
