Sarah Glaser heads up Lloyd Gosselink’s employment law practice group

Sarah focuses on employment law compliance for her business and governmental entity clients. Her goal is always the same – to help her business and governmental entity clients comply with the law, treat their employees fairly, and stay off the witness stand.

Sarah believes that every organization, no matter its size, deserves competent and efficient counsel, and she does her best to provide that counsel. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so she tries to develop relationships with her clients where they take proactive steps like calling her before they fire someone and allowing her to visit them regularly to conduct training. When necessary, she defends employers before governmental agencies and when they are sued in state or federal court.

Sarah enjoys being involved with local HR groups and she serves on Austin SHRM’s Board of Directors and on Texas SHRM’s state council. She speaks regularly for various HR organizations and other trade organizations and loves the opportunity to connect with other people that speaking provides. Sarah has been listed as a Texas Super Lawyers Rising Star and a Top Austin Attorney by Austin Monthly Magazine in Labor and Employment categories for several years running.

Sarah has long believed that it is important to love your job, enjoy your colleagues, and give back to your community. To that end, Sarah has served as President of the Travis County Women Lawyers’ Association, Chair of the Travis County Women Lawyers’ Foundation, and is a Barrister in the Robert W. Calvert Inn of Court.

Sarah received her bachelor’s degree from Washington University in Saint Louis and her law degree from the University of Texas School of Law.
