Lauren joined the firm’s real estate practice in 2023, returning to Long Island after beginning her legal career in Manhattan.
Lauren’s practice encompasses a broad range of residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout the East End, from conventional residential purchases and sales to complex and high-value transactions involving luxury homes or business properties. Lauren advises clients through every stage of the sale process — negotiating listing agreements with brokers, conducting due diligence on properties, drafting and negotiating the contracts, clearing title issues, and conducting the closings. Lauren also provides counsel on various other real estate agreements, including the preparation and negotiation of leases (commercial, residential, and seasonal), easements, boundary line agreements, construction contracts, and architect agreements. Lauren brings a detail-oriented, practical approach to each transaction, with a focus on protecting her clients’ interests and efficiently navigating the legal and practical issues that arise in connection with real estate matters on the East End.
