Her practice includes a wide range of commercial and civil litigation matters with an emphasis on e-Discovery, litigation management and information governance. Lauren has a particular interest and expertise in the law of privilege as it relates to the discovery and production of electronic records and has worked on privilege reviews for a variety of e-Discovery matters.

Lauren is very knowledgeable about e-Discovery best practices and technology with experience managing the complete e-Discovery process - from identification, preservation and collection through to analysis of large data sets using technology, complex electronic document reviews and production. Lauren has significant experience managing, supervising and providing quality control on large-scale, complex electronic document review and production initiatives, in particular for high-profile class actions and Competition Bureau supplementary information requests for large M&A transactions.

She also reviews, advises on and drafts data governance and related policies, including acceptable use, email, social media, BYOD and legal hold policies.

Lauren regularly provides advice to large institutional clients on data retention requirements, record classification plans and retention schedules. She also provides legal advice and opinions to clients regarding digitization and defensible disposition and remediation, with a focus on leveraging technology to implement this advice.

Lauren also manages MT>3 due diligence reviews for McCarthy Tétrault LLP M&A and Real Estate clients. Using an experienced team of due diligence review lawyers combined with leading-edge artificial intelligence technology, MT>3’s team is able to streamline the due diligence process, thus saving time, minimizing fees and increasing the accuracy of a review.

A businessperson at heart who previously launched and ran her own children’s clothing label, Lauren brings that same entrepreneurial zeal and business acumen to all her client relationships today. She has kept up her involvement in the business community by mentoring young entrepreneurs through government-supported initiatives.

Lauren is a member of the Ontario Bar Association (Civil Litigation Section), the Advocates’ Society and the Women’s Executive Network. She received her LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2000 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2002.
