Whilst at the English Bar, Glennie worked mainly in commercial and international arbitration before the Commercial Court and Court of Appeal.

He was appointed to the Bench of the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary in 2005, as a Senator of the College of Justice, with the judicial title, Lord Glennie.

Following his Privy Council appointment on 11 July 2016, he was appointed to the 1st Division of the Inner House.[3][4] He retired in December 2020 and subsequently became Chair of the Scottish Arbitration Centre.[5]

He has served as a judge for the Dubai International Financial Centre Court.[6]
