Lauren is an experienced wills and estates lawyer with more than 10 years under her belt across both private practice and the government sector. Lauren has a particular focus on complex estate planning (including family trusts, SMSFs, and companies) and asset protection but is also experienced in estate administration and general trust matters. She is passionate about empowering people to drive their own affairs and be fully informed about their options. Lauren relishes any opportunity to chat all things wills and estates and is a regular speaker at both professional and community events.
Lauren is a Councillor of the Law Society of NSW and serves/has served on several policy and regulatory committees – including being a Co-Chair of the Elder Law, Capacity and Succession committee (having been on that committee since 2018). In 2025 she was appointed to the National Elder Law and Succession Law committee of the Law Council of Australia. Lauren is an affiliate member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). She is the Co-Regional President of the North Metropolitan Regional Law Society. She is a regular mentor for younger lawyers, particularly young women entering our profession.
As a private client lawyer, Lauren understands that your matter isn’t just a matter to you, but something really important. It is this attitude that means Lauren’s practice includes both repeat clients and a strong referral base. Service underpins all that we do as lawyers, and this is the cornerstone of Lauren’s practice.
