We are pleased to announce that attorney Lauren E. Edmunds has been honored with the Kane County Bar Association's Outstanding New Lawyer Award for 2024. This prestigious award is given to one exceptional attorney each year, chosen through nominations by their peers.
The Outstanding New Lawyer Award is presented to attorneys within their first eight years of practice who have demonstrated a strong commitment to the KCBA and their community, their efforts to promote a positive view of the legal profession, and their adherence to high standards of integrity and professional responsibility.
"I am honored to have received this award. This recognition is a testament to the incredible support and mentorship I've received from my colleagues at Meyers & Flowers and the Kane County Bar Association” said Lauren. “Thank you for this recognition, and I look forward to continuing to grow and serve alongside such dedicated professionals."
In just four years, Lauren has resolved hundreds of cases for victims of personal injury, defective products, medical malpractice, worker’s compensation and sexual abuse. Lauren has gained valuable experience working on several complex litigations and high-stakes trials like the opioid litigation, Conagra lawsuits, clergy abuse cases, and the Camp Lejeune water contamination crisis.
The award is well-deserved, not only for the tremendous results Lauren has obtained in her first years as a lawyer but also for her dedication to her community where she volunteers on the Bloom committee for the Children's Advocacy Center of North and Northwest Cook County. Lauren is also an active member in several associations including, the Kane County Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, Society of Women Trial Lawyers, and the American Association for Justice.
“In her young career, Lauren has exhibited a unique commitment and dedication to the legal profession through her community involvement, integrity, and high level of professional development” said Partner Michael Lenert. “Lauren is a talented and caring advocate for her clients who we are very fortunate to have working alongside us at Meyers & Flowers. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this award than Lauren.”
We are incredibly proud of Lauren's achievements and the positive impact she has made within our firm and beyond. Please join us in congratulating Lauren on this remarkable accomplishment!
