Lauren sits in our litigation team, specialising in administrative and regulatory law and casually displaying an intellect that’s as tall as she is not. For beautifully crafted advice on painfully complex pieces of regulation and their application to the actual world, Lauren is a natural.

She’s also an escapee from Melbourne. The pull of that city’s superior coffee and small bar scene worries us constantly, but her Nonna’s cooking is probably the bigger threat. As far as we can work out, Lauren is good at everything except not getting lost on a trail run (twice), actually navigation generally. A legit holder of First Class Honours but also normal, which really challenges our notions of the range of human possibility.
