Lauren Cullen

Lauren Cullen is an accomplished criminal defence lawyer whose practice spans serious and complex criminal proceedings, as well as civil actions against the NSW Police. She appears regularly before the Local and District Courts across Sydney, and before the Supreme Court of New South Wales, and by arrangement, on the South and Central Coasts.

Her criminal practice encompasses charges ranging from serious assaults and drug supply to complex fraud, and appellate matters. Lauren’s advocacy is defined by strategic precision and composure under pressure. She is recognised for her ability to expose investigative weaknesses, dismantle flawed prosecutions, and deliver clear, forceful argument.

Before practising law, Lauren served with the NSW Police Force, where she was an investigator on major strike-force operations targeting organised crime, serious assaults, fraud, and large-scale drug supply networks. That experience provides a rare and valuable insight into investigative methodology, police procedure, and prosecutorial strategy; insight she now leverages to the advantage of her clients. Respected for her clarity, discipline, and tenacity in court, Lauren is unwavering in the defence of individual rights and reputations. She is frequently instructed in matters involving sensitive reputational issues and receives referrals from within both the legal profession and law enforcement.
