Overview

Lauren steers clients through complex corporate transactions.

With a focus on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, Lauren represents companies in the technology, manufacturing, and transportation industries, particularly tech startups and software developers. She also represents private equity firms and venture capital groups in the purchase and sale of companies, as well as in general corporate and governance matters throughout the holding period. In these situations, Lauren is often a part of the attorney team for the transaction’s entire life cycle, assisting with the original purchase, the growth over the next several years, and the eventual sale.

Lauren finds transactions truly exciting: she loves seeing the client’s excitement and witnessing exponential business growth, and she’s especially honored when she can help startups grow beyond a client’s original vision. She tends to invest personally in clients’ business goals and is passionate about contributing to their success. Lauren also loves the fast pace of corporate transactions and the chance for active problem solving, as well as the collaboration fostered between the client, the attorney team, and opposing counsel.

Known for her customer service skills, her quick solutions, and her practical advice, Lauren aims to learn as much as possible about clients and their companies. In addition to building long-term relationships, she values developing deep familiarity with the client’s business culture, needs, and risk tolerance, so that she can offer tailored, actionable advice. Her goal is to take care of transactional and other legal needs so that clients can focus on their businesses.
