Varnum partner Lauren Potocsky has been recognized as an Up & Coming Lawyer by Michigan Lawyers Weekly. This award honors attorneys in their first 10 years of practice who have established themselves as future leaders through their ambition, accomplishments, and dedication to the legal profession.

Potocsky is a partner on the Real Estate Practice Team at Varnum. She provides strategic counsel on the acquisition, financing, sale, and leasing of commercial properties for clients ranging from large, multimillion-dollar companies to startup founders. Potocsky also has significant experience representing clients in the sale and acquisition of medical office buildings, along with leasing medical office space to physician groups, hospitals, and medical practices.

For the past three years, Potocsky has been recognized by Best Lawyers® as one of the “Ones to Watch,” a designation given to attorneys early in their careers in recognition of their outstanding professional excellence in private practice. She has also been named a Rising Star by Michigan Super Lawyers® since 2020.

Outside of her legal practice, Potocsky is an active community leader, serving as a board member of the Northville Community Foundation.

In law school, Potocsky served as Editor-in-Chief of the Wayne Law Review. She was also a member of the first-place team in the Arthur Neef Moot Court Finals and was a quarterfinalist in the Robert F. Wagner National Labor and Employment Law Moot Court Competition, one of the country’s most prestigious competitions.

Potocsky and other Up & Coming honorees will be recognized at a luncheon event on April 25 and will be profiled in a special section of the late April issue of Michigan Lawyers Weekly.
