Best known for her appearance on The Apprentice, solicitor Lauren Riley embodies the spirit of today’s modern professional woman, proving leadership and glamour can come hand in hand.
After graduating with an Honours Degree in Law from Lancaster University in 2006, Lauren concluded her Post-Graduate Diploma in Law with Distinction.
Specialising in family law, taking on cases such as separation, divorce or property ownership, Lauren was driven to ensure she could make a difference for those in need of support, always managing to keep a level head in what can be an emotionally charged time for families.
Concerned with the amount of time and effort solicitors put into simply keeping all client parties up to speed with case progression, Lauren took charge and created The Link App. Designed with a user-friendly interface, a lawyer can upload the latest developments on a case to the app and their clients can easily access all the information. With this technology, Lauren aims to redefine and improve the relationship between law firms and their clients.

Testimonial
Lauren was an engaging, fluent and interesting contributor to our digital marketing conference this year. Being a lawyer and an entrepreneur is an unusual combination, and she represents a new breed of more commercially minded professional ready for the future.

Lauren is a fantastic speaker who speaks from the heart with pride and passion. Her story echo’s the sentiment that if you want something in life, you have to work for it. Lauren combines her real life experiences with key learning points for success. I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to go and listen to her speak, she is a truly inspirational lady.

CEO of We Are The City
Lauren spoke at the Junior Lawyers Division of the Law Society's Annual Conference in April 2015 on "Understanding the business world". Lauren was an excellent and enthusiastic speaker. As a solicitor, businesswoman, and TV personality, the expectations from the audience were high. Lauren clearly exceeded those expectations given the wonderful feedback that we received. From my own perspective, I found Lauren's talk to be very interesting and engaging from start to finish (to the extent that we even allowed the talk to exceed its allocated time in order to take extra questions from the audience). Lauren was a delight to work with, and we hope to have her back again in the future!
Max Harris
President of the Junior Division of The Law Society
Lauren is an excellent speaker - knowledgeable, engaging and a pleasure to work with. Her ability to speak on everything from the benefits of proprietary technology to the importance of content marketing makes her a brilliant addition to any panel aimed at founders, business leaders and the SME community as a whole.
