Lauren McGeever

Lauren McGeever is a managing director at Epiq, a leading global provider of legal and business services, and she has been named Class Actions Law Expert of the Year in New York at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The recognition highlights her standing in class action administration, a specialised discipline that sits at the intersection of law, technology and large-scale operations, and that is essential to delivering the outcomes courts and parties agree in complex group litigation.

Epiq describes itself as a platform that integrates people, process and technology to manage complex administrative tasks for law firms, corporations and other organisations. Within its legal services offering, class action and mass tort administration is a core focus, encompassing settlement administration, legal noticing, contact centre services, claims processing and payment distribution through the firm's payments capability. It is in this environment that McGeever's expertise as a managing director is applied.

Class action administration is the machinery that makes collective redress work in practice. When a class action is settled, potentially very large groups of affected people must be identified and notified, claims must be received and validated, and funds must be distributed accurately and in accordance with the court-approved plan. This work demands rigorous project management, data-handling capability and an understanding of the legal framework within which every step must be documented and defensible. Errors or delays can undermine confidence in a settlement, so precision and reliability are paramount.

Epiq operates at considerable scale, with a presence across more than a dozen countries and a client base that includes major international law firms and large corporations. That reach allows the firm to handle high-volume, high-complexity matters and to bring consistent processes to bear across jurisdictions. The firm also invests in proprietary technology, including an artificial intelligence suite and an integrated service platform, tools that support the efficient management of the vast quantities of data and communication that modern class actions generate.

As a managing director, McGeever operates at a senior level within this specialised field, where success depends on combining operational discipline with a clear grasp of the legal and practical objectives of each engagement. Class action administration ultimately exists to ensure that the members of a class actually receive the benefit of a settlement, and that the process withstands scrutiny from courts, counsel and claimants alike.

Her recognition as Class Actions Law Expert of the Year in New York at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 reflects the reputation she has established within a demanding area of legal services. Backed by Epiq's global platform and technology, McGeever's work helps translate the resolution of complex group litigation into accurate, well-administered outcomes for the many parties who depend on them.
