Are your best people invested, or just present?

I help law firms and companies increase profits by attracting and developing sought-after talent that doesn’t merely stay: they lead.

Are your lateral partners building their practice here, or counting down?

In this heated marketplace, we work together to create fresh, sustainable solutions that accelerate individual partners’ contributions.

Are your partners leading, or managing?

Clients  show their gratitude with their loyalty. I help you grow and maintain your coveted “Trusted Advisor” status.

Why my background is unlike any other coach in this space:

My interest in leadership began at Wharton, where I studied business strategy, brand management, and organizational leadership. It has never stopped. Since then, I’ve been a federal judicial law clerk, a longtime practicing lawyer, and a top-producing legal recruiter. I bring 12+ years of management-side practice at top-ranked NYC firms, a track record as a top-producing legal recruiter, and hundreds of coaching engagements across firms of every size — each of which gave me a different lens on how law firms succeed and fail. I approach every organizational challenge using my varied experience to analyze problems from multiple vantage points. I am a trained ADHD coach and serve on the board of my ICF (International Coaching Federation) chapter.

Independence means I answer to your results, not to a pre-packaged program or a fixed engagement model:

Because I’m independent, I design the approach around your firm’s specific needs, not an off-the-shelf program. My understanding of firm dynamics comes from the inside: from practicing at top-ranked firms, placing hundreds of lawyers, and coaching senior leaders across firms of every size. That investment compounds. Leaders who work with me consistently report results that extend well beyond our engagement.

Even when saying tough things someone won’t want to hear, Lauren earns their respect (and usually buy-in) by delivering the message with a great mix of humor, empathy and tact. She’s also savvy and pragmatic, with great judgment and instincts honed after years in the legal industry."
