Lauren McGeever

Lauren McGeever is a managing director at Epiq, a leading global provider of legal and business services, and she has been named Mass Tort Law Expert of the Year in New York at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The award recognises her standing in mass tort administration, a complex and highly operational field that supports the resolution of litigation involving large numbers of claimants harmed by a common product, event or course of conduct.

Epiq describes itself as a platform that integrates people, process and technology to manage complex administrative tasks for law firms, corporations and other organisations. Mass tort administration sits alongside class action work at the core of its legal services offering, and encompasses claims intake and validation, legal noticing, contact centre support, settlement administration and the distribution of funds. It is within this framework that McGeever's expertise as a managing director is put to work.

Mass tort matters present distinctive challenges. Unlike a single class treated as one group, mass torts typically involve many individual claimants whose circumstances and injuries differ, which means each claim must be assessed on its own facts while still being processed within a coherent, consistent system. Administering these matters calls for careful data management, robust verification procedures and sensitive communication with claimants who may be dealing with serious personal harm. The administrator's role is to bring order, accuracy and fairness to a process that can involve tens of thousands of individual stories.

Epiq's global scale is well suited to this work. Operating across more than a dozen countries and serving major law firms and corporations, the firm is equipped to manage the volume and complexity that mass tort litigation generates. It supports this capacity with proprietary technology, including an artificial intelligence suite and an integrated service platform, which help to process large datasets, manage communications and maintain the detailed records that such matters require. These tools allow experienced professionals to focus their judgement where it matters most.

As a managing director, McGeever works at a senior level in a field where reliability and diligence are essential. Mass tort administration ultimately determines whether injured claimants receive the compensation to which a resolution entitles them, and whether that process is transparent and defensible. Success depends on marrying operational rigour with an understanding of the legal and human dimensions of each engagement.

Her recognition as Mass Tort Law Expert of the Year in New York at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 reflects the reputation she has built within this specialised area of legal services. Supported by Epiq's international platform and technology, McGeever's work helps convert the resolution of large-scale tort litigation into accurate, well-managed outcomes for the many claimants and parties who rely on them.
