Lauren has acted for a full range of clients including banks, insurers, finance companies, directors, shareholders, partners, senior employees, local authorities, central government, trade unions, and not-for-profit entities.

Prior to the Bar, Lauren had a successful career as a senior trade union advocate representing executives and senior staff in the Telecoms sector, the Civil Service and the NHS.
