Lauren J. Fried

A strategic and diligent advocate in a complex business dispute

When our mid-sized tech company in San Jose faced a significant breach of contract and unfair competition claim from a former partner, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who could grasp the intricate commercial details quickly and develop a proactive strategy. Lauren Fried at Loeb & Loeb was precisely that. Despite her relatively recent graduation from Northwestern's law school, her approach was remarkably seasoned. She demonstrated a sharp, analytical mind, breaking down the complex litigation into manageable components for our executive team. Her recognition in commercial litigation by Best Lawyers was evident in her strategic foresight; she anticipated opposing counsel's moves and prepared countermeasures that kept us ahead at every stage. Lauren’s professionalism was unwavering—she was always meticulously prepared, communicated with clarity (no unnecessary legalese), and was genuinely invested in our desired outcome, not just billable hours. Her work on our case, which involved both litigation and strategic settlement negotiations, resulted in a resolution that protected our intellectual property and saved the company from a costly, protracted court battle. For any business in the Bay Area navigating commercial disputes, I cannot recommend Lauren J. Fried highly enough. She is a formidable and trustworthy asset.
