About Glenn Ivey
Glenn Ivey’s experience spans the legal, regulatory and legislative landscapes at the federal, state and local levels.
In his 25 years of litigation experience on complex civil and contract cases, he has provided legislative and regulatory counsel for clients in the technology, utilities and non-profit sectors. Currently in private practice, he was elected in 2002 as State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County Maryland and was re-elected to serve a second term which ended in 2010.

Along with tough crime-fighting units in homicide, guns and domestic violence, he initiated an award-winning Economic Crimes Unit that became a national model for prosecuting mortgage fraud and other economic crimes. The office was cited by the U.S. Department of Justice for its approach in helping consumers and businesses identify solutions to financial fraud.

He was a partner at the Washington, DC law firm of Preston, Gates, Ellis (now K&L Gates) where he handled legislative, regulatory and criminal matters.
