Overview

• Compass announced the appointment on Sept. 9, creating its first chief legal officer role while General Counsel Bradley Serwin stays through 2025 and consults into early 2026, according to an SEC filing.
• Glass led DOJ antitrust teams that investigated and sued MLS organizations over alleged anticompetitive conduct during nearly a decade at the agency.
• He most recently headed Cooley LLP’s global antitrust practice, where he represented Compass in its lawsuit against Northwest MLS challenging a ban on private exclusive listings.
• In private practice, Glass also represented NAR in the Sitzer/Burnett commission case and in litigation tied to the now-defunct no‑commingling rule involving Zillow.
• Compass CEO Robert Reffkin framed the hire as bolstering efforts to challenge MLS and platform practices—including fines or delistings—that the company argues limit how and where homeowners can market their homes.
