About Me
Lauren Lanigan is a Partner and Private Wealth Advisor at Socium Advisors, where she helps clients achieve their financial goals and plan for a secure future.
Her work focuses on supporting individuals and families in transition, whether that’s divorce, a job change, or retirement, providing guidance that balances both short- and long-term planning needs. She spends majority of her time empowering financially independent women to live their financial life by design, rather than by default. From an early age, Lauren developed an appreciation for the security that strong financial guidance provides. Her father was a business owner, and her mother advanced to executive leadership in the banking industry, instilling in her the value of hard work, perseverance, and trusted advisors. These lessons shaped her approach to financial planning and informed her early work with Autism Speaks and Best Buddies International, where she focused on awareness, advocacy, and inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Lauren graduated from Marquette University in 2014 and carries the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation and Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designation. Originally from Maine, Lauren has called Wisconsin home since 2010 and lives in Mequon with her husband, Peter, their yellow lab, Coach and will soon become human parents in October 2026. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, playing golf, staying active, and spending time with family and friends. Lauren and her husband Peter remain committed to their family’s longstanding relationship with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin where their family hosts the annual Food & Families luncheon (started by Peter’s mother, Linda Lanigan) which goes to support the Family Meal Program at the Ronald McDonald House in Milwaukee. Their family has raised over $700,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
