Westfield Mayor-Elect Scott Willis has appointed Kaitlin Glazier to be the city’s Chief of Legal.

“The City of Westfield is long-overdue to have our own city attorney,” Willis said. “Finding the right person to fulfill this role has been one of my top priorities. Kaitlin Glazier understands the complex intricacies of municipal law. I have full confidence in her experience and skills.”
As Chief of Legal, Glazier will represent solely the legal affairs of the City of Westfield. Her role will be to provide comprehensive, timely, and cost-effective legal services to meet the city’s needs. This will include, in part, legal counsel, representation, and services to the administration, boards, and commissions in Westfield – and, when needed, coordination of outside counsel to ensure efficient delivery of representation.

“I am looking forward to working alongside Mayor-Elect Willis and the rest of the administration during this exciting time of growth in Westfield,” Glazier said. “I bring unique insight and experience to this role gained through my tenure in municipal law at a prominent law firm, followed by my role as the in-house City Attorney for the City of Lawrence. I’m honored to provide legal assistance and guidance to the team that Mayor-Elect Willis has assembled.”
Over the last few years, having a dedicated city attorney has been a major topic of discussion. Willis said he feels this course of action will accomplish what is best for the residents of Westfield.
Glazier currently serves as the City Attorney for the City of Lawrence and will begin this new role as the City of Westfield’s Chief of Legal on Jan. 1, 2024.
