Compass Inc. (NYSE: COMP) has announced the appointment of Ethan Glass as chief legal officer.
Glass most recently served as head of the global antitrust and competition practice at Cooley LLP, where led Compass’ lawsuit against Northwest MLS and represented the National Association of Realtors in the Sitzer-Burnett lawsuit. Prior to Cooley, he was a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP and worked at the US Department of Justice as assistant chief and trial attorney in the Litigation III Section.
“At Compass, we firmly believe agents should not be fined by MLSs or banned by Zillow for marketing listings off their platforms and that no agent should be told by an MLS or Zillow how they must work with their clients,” said Compass founder and CEO Robert Reffkin. “Bringing Ethan Glass on board as our chief legal officer reflects our unwavering commitment to seller choice and challenging these restrictive practices that limit when, where, and how homeowners can market their homes.”
