Glori Bond represents clients in complex business litigation and class actions, focusing on cases that often involve city governments and municipalities.

One of Glori’s standout achievements is her work in a high-profile police brutality and civil rights claims case, which underscores her commitment to impactful legal work.

Before joining Thompson Coburn, Glori worked as an Assistant State’s Attorney in the Municipal Litigation Unit of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, representing elected officials and managing the Building and Zoning Circuit Court Call. In 2020, she was promoted to Supervisor of the FOIA Unit, where she built the unit from scratch and handled high-profile, sensitive matters.

She began her legal career as a real estate paralegal, gaining experience in state agencies and private firms, where she handled commercial and residential real estate transactions from start to finish.
