With a robust background in providing outside general counsel services, Lauren has advised multiple quasi-governmental agencies and private employers on a wide array of labor and employment issues.

Lauren also supports clients by conducting thorough internal workplace investigations related to allegations of discrimination, harassment, and violations of internal employer policies.

In addition to advisory services, Lauren has a strong track record of representing employers in disputes before various regulatory bodies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the State of Washington Human Rights Commission (WHRC), the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC), the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), and the Department of Labor (DOL).

Lauren regularly represents clients through all stages of dispute resolution, from pre-litigation settlement negotiations to arbitration and trial.
