Overview

Lauren helps clients navigate complex commercial litigation matters, guiding disputes through all stages of state and federal court proceedings.

Lauren has always loved intellectual challenges, and that drive shaped her decision to go to law school. Before enrolling, she spent two years working in the banking industry after finishing her undergraduate degree early, logging 60-hour work weeks that gave her a new appreciation for structured problem solving and a genuine excitement to keep learning. That combination of discipline and curiosity carried directly into her legal education.

Moot court is what drew Lauren toward commercial litigation. She competed in three separate moot court competitions in law school, covering tribal law, constitutional due process, and patent claim construction, and found that she loved working through unfamiliar areas of law under pressure. She also founded her law school’s AI Law Association, spending her final year teaching peers and faculty about emerging developments in artificial intelligence and its implications for legal practice.

As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Lauren worked across a range of practice groups, including labor and employment, intellectual property litigation, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and education. The variety gave her a well-rounded view of the firm, and she credits her mentors with guiding her through each assignment and decision along the way.

Known for being direct and dependable, Lauren aims to be the kind of attorney clients can count on even when the answers are difficult. She works to make the legal process easier to navigate, communicating honestly and keeping client interests at the center of every matter.
