Lauren Kennedy Featured in Bloomberg Law’s “They’ve Got Next: 40 Under 40” Series

On July 27, 2023, Cravath partner Lauren R. Kennedy was featured in Bloomberg Law’s “They’ve Got Next: 40 Under 40” series, which recognizes “the accomplishments of stellar young lawyers nationwide,” based on their client work, assumption of leadership roles, pro bono commitments and more. In a Q&A, Lauren described her work on a recent victory for client Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (“BCBS”) and member plans in a massive, multi‑district antitrust litigation, in the face of a prior adverse decision. Lauren explained her definition of success as earning a client’s trust and confidence through achieving great results, especially given the long timeline of much of the complex litigation she handles. She noted the influence on her legal career of Cravath partner Karin DeMasi, “by far [her] greatest mentor,” and emphasized the importance of a positive, can‑do attitude when interfacing with clients, aspiring to be “not an interloper who appears for a given litigation, but a true partner in their business and in achieving their big‑picture goals.”
