Having a genuine desire to understand what my clients face in their day-to-day business and how that can impact their goals drives me as a litigator to create a strategic, tailored approach. Whether that means tactical risk mitigation or going all the way to trial, I have found that the best results come when we are moving with the same purpose.
Lauren Frieder joins Adams and Reese with a primary focus on real estate, insurance, and commercial law. As a trial attorney, she handles all aspects of pre-suit, in-suit, and post-suit litigation. Lauren routinely litigates matters involving complex business disputes, business torts, real estate transactions, breach of buyer and seller contracts, title disputes, evictions, unlawful detainer and ejectment actions, easements and boundary disputes, quiet title, foreclosures, property use and variances, lien and code enforcements, and commission disputes between brokerages. Additional litigation areas include contract and transactional litigation, Proceedings Supplementary (i.e. Post-Judgment Proceedings), FDUTPA (Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act), employment/non-compete, conversion, declaratory actions, shareholder derivative actions and injunctions, and specific performance.
Lauren advises clients from large corporations to start-ups, as well as non-profits and investors. In her work, she frequently counsels businesses and individuals regarding asset protection, wealth management, and risk management.
She credits her network within the legal industry, and specifically the Tampa Bay community, to her success as a trial lawyer. Lauren is known for her extensive knowledge and experience in choosing the right jury in her clients’ cases.

Prior to entering law school, Lauren worked in the television and radio industry.
