Bloomberg Law has recognized Lauren Moore, a WilmerHale partner, in its 2023 “They’ve Got Next: 40 Under 40” annual listing which highlights the accomplishments of a select group of lawyers who have experienced extraordinary success relatively early in their legal careers. The exclusive list is comprised of “the best of the future of the legal profession,” according to the publication.
Moore, based in the firm’s Washington, DC office, represents companies, nonprofit organizations, boards and individuals in matters of crisis management, strategic response and government enforcement. She advises clients as they navigate legal and reputational risk arising from sensitive internal matters, government inquiries and media scrutiny. Her practice has a particular focus on civil rights reviews, congressional investigations and government-facing investigations.
The Bloomberg Law feature accompanying Moore’s recognition describes some of her recent achievements. During her time as a US Senate senior staff member from 2018 to 2021 where, by the end she was general counsel to then-Sen. Kamala Harris on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Moore contributed to the drafting of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
As associate White House counsel before rejoining the firm in late 2022, she helped design and launch President Biden’s clemency program.

“Throughout federal government, we’ve experienced significant political and policy shifts in relatively short periods of time—including newly divided government composed of a Republican House of Representatives and a Democratic Senate and White House…
“I’m grateful that clients have trusted me to help navigate these dynamics on a range of matters—including anti-discrimination and civil rights reviews, congressional investigations, and government enforcement work—in ways that help them identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and produce sound decisions that can withstand political shifts.”
