Bio
Lauren represents commercial businesses in a variety of government contracting and litigation matters. As Chair of PilieroMazza’s REAs, Claims, and Appeals Group, she leads a team of attorneys who assist clients in every phase of the contract dispute process.
A highly skilled practitioner, government contractors benefit from Lauren’s substantial experience managing complex claims and appeals for contractors under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) and other applicable jurisdictional statutes. This experience is particularly valuable for contractors seeking monetary relief and time extensions from procuring agencies, as she adeptly handles cases at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and various boards of contract appeals. Lauren’s work in this area extends to advocating for the rights of contractors facing constructive changes, unjustified terminations, cure and show cause notices, and defective or vague specifications.
Lauren also offers clients guidance on bid protests, lease negotiations, GSA schedule compliance, multiple award contracts, and solicitation reviews. She is adept at counseling clients on suspension and debarment proceedings, mandatory disclosures, alternative dispute resolution, False Claims Act (FCA) actions, and other issues under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
Lauren’s past experience includes assisting contractors on how to navigate the complex nature of Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) and host nation laws applied to contractors supporting missions in the Middle East and Europe.
