Lauren also represents privately owned and publicly traded companies in rights-of-way acquisition for pipeline infrastructure.

Prior to joining Jackson Walker, Lauren served as outside counsel for a global leader in oilfield services. In that role, she served as primary counsel for the upstream chemical division and specialty equipment divisions, negotiating master service agreements, indemnity agreements, and exclusive supplier agreements in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
