Lauren J.Elliot

Lauren Elliot is a Partner at Seiden Law with three decades of experience in high-stakes complex commercial litigation, class actions, government and internal investigations, and employment matters. She spent the majority of her career as a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, where she was a member of the firm’s Class Actions, Commercial Litigation, and Crisis Management practice groups, representing major financial institutions, technology companies, professional services firms, and energy companies in federal and state courts and on appeal.

Elliot is retained for the matters that define a company’s exposure: billion-dollar fraud actions, board-level investigations that produce findings with legal and reputational consequences, multi-week trials, and class-action defense for clients in financial services, technology, and professional services. Her track record includes a $1.8 billion fraud and negligent-misrepresentation defense, a 350-page independent board investigation for a pharmaceutical company facing shareholder demands, and a three-week Bankruptcy Court trial in which she served as lead trial counsel and secured dismissal of all fraudulent-conveyance claims against a high-net-worth individual.

Sophisticated clients, co-counsel, and referring firms turn to Elliot for the Gibson Dunn pedigree and the courtroom experience to handle matters that cannot afford a learning curve, and she litigates with and against the nation’s leading firms. She is particularly well-suited for corporations and boards facing existential litigation, high-net-worth individuals in complex civil proceedings, and any client whose matter sits at the intersection of litigation, investigation, and reputational risk.
