Lauren le Grange holds a BA Law, LLB and LLM in Environmental Law and Governance from North-West University. She was admitted as an attorney of the High Court of South Africa in February 2024 and has experience across civil litigation, environmental compliance, estate administration and legal advisory work.

Before joining VDH, Lauren worked in Johannesburg in civil litigation, commercial matters and deceased estates, where she managed matters independently, drafted court documents and legal opinions, and appeared in the Magistrates’ Court. She later moved to Cape Town and practised in environmental, heritage and planning law, advising a range of clients on compliance, development applications and regulatory processes.

Her academic record reflects the same depth of interest in legal analysis. Lauren was recognised as a top achiever in her Master’s class, achieving distinctions in four of five modules, and later presented research at the NWU Environmental and Wildlife Symposium. She has also presented training to legal professionals on Caselines and CourtOnline, reflecting a strong interest in both legal practice and knowledge-sharing.

Originally from Johannesburg, Lauren studied in Potchefstroom before beginning her professional career in Johannesburg. At the end of 2024, she relocated to Cape Town, where she now lives in Green Point.

Outside of practice, Lauren enjoys baking, cooking and true crime, as well as making the most of Cape Town life through cold-water swimming and hunting for wild proteas.
