Glori Bond

Glori is an associate in the Firm's business litigation practice.

She handles complex business litigation and class action matters, typically representing city governments and municipalities.

Glori enjoys how litigation cases do not have a one-size-fits-all solution and finds that each case has a unique set of complex issues, allowing her to constantly learn something new.

She is very proud of the work she is doing in an ongoing police brutality and excessive force and civil rights claims case.

Prior to 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. In that capacity, she represented elected Cook County Officials and their offices in a myriad of litigation matters. She also handled the entire Building and Zoning Circuit Court Call for Cook County. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic she was promoted to the Supervisor of the FOIA Unit. She was tasked with staffing and building a unit from the ground up. During her time there she handled very high profile and sensitive matters for the State's Attorney's Office and was pivotal in implementing new processes and technology. She started her career in law as a real estate paralegal and worked everywhere from state agencies to private firms handling commercial and residential real estate matters from start to finish. Glori earned a B.A. in Political Science from DePaul University, a certificate in legal studies from Loyola University Chicago, and her J.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law.
