Lauren E. Wenger

BIOGRAPHY

Describing herself as “a nerd about the law,” Lauren E. Wenger is the rare litigator who is at home in both the courtroom and the conference room, listening closely to clients from their very first meetings so she can advocate with clarity, and support them with compassion.

Before joining Gawthrop Greenwood, Lauren served at law firms in Plymouth Meeting and Paoli, handling all stages of insurance coverage from claims investigations to expert report preparation, complaints, discovery responses and subsequent litigation. Most recently, she served clients at a renowned commercial, industrial and residential real estate law firm where she was involved in arbitration of a counterclaim of more than $800,000. She is also skilled in inspections of property and coordinating discovery for complex construction claims as well as claims related to buying and selling property.

Focusing her practice in civil litigation, real estate and insurance law, Lauren began her career as an intern at the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office in Media, PA where she assisted in Mental Health Court and also served as Acting Extradition Clerk for Delaware County. Lauren went on to earn her J.D. as a Dean’s Scholar at Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law while interning under General Counsel for a collections management services company.

An Upper Darby native, Lauren is a graduate of the prestigious Agnes Irwin School in Rosemont, where she was a rower and was inspired by the school’s mission to promote the education and leadership potential of young women. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and Chester County Bar Association. She resides in West Chester.

NEWS & INSIGHTS

Attorney-Client Privilege in the Age of AI

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is widespread and rapidly evolving, with most search engine results including an AI summary sometimes providing useful information… or wildly hallucinated inaccuracies. Before using public AI tools for legal matters, be aware that anything you share may not stay private, and that can put attorney-client privilege at risk.
