Lauren Phillips

Lauren advises a broad range of health care entities (including hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, med-device companies, and health plans) on compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, including those related to fraud, waste and abuse, telemedicine, licensing, and reimbursement. She partners with clients to design and implement effective compliance programs, conducts internal investigations, and guides organizations through risk adjustment data validation (RADV) audits. Lauren also maintains a broad litigation practice, representing health care clients in complex disputes in both state and federal courts.

Lauren also advises clients on a range of labor and employment matters, including discrimination and retaliation claims and related regulatory compliance. She is committed to pro bono service, representing individuals in immigration proceedings, litigating on behalf of underserved clients, and advising non-profit organizations on regulatory and governance issues.

Prior to joining Crowell, Lauren earned her J.D. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where she served as an associate editor of the Cardozo Law Review and was recognized as a Public Service Scholar. She gained firsthand government enforcement experience as a clinical intern at the New York City Department of Law and as a legal intern at the New York State Division of Human Rights—roles that deepened her understanding of regulatory investigations and administrative proceedings. She also provided pro bono legal counsel to filmmakers, visual advocates, and video journalists through the Filmmakers Legal Clinic.
