Southern Glazer’s Lauren Mutti is ‘A Rock Star’

Lauren Mutti didn’t want to be a lawyer growing up and had no idea what lawyers did, but she has turned out to be a damn good one.

As lead labor and employment counsel at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Mutti manages an employment litigation docket of over $9 million nationwide. She reduced outside counsel spend by more than $1 million. She decreased employment litigation by 25 percent through pre-litigation counseling. She led a multi-department team that implemented a new digital and e-commerce platform for sales. She created, updated and implemented sales compliance policies, employee handbooks, drug and alcohol policy and document retention policies.
