The equations for the gauge-invariant phases obtained in the framework of the Lawrence-Doniach model are used to study the vortex lattice in layered superconductors in strong, parallel magnetic fields H. As H changes, a sequence of first-order phase transitions occurs between the lattices with different periods. The largest jumps in magnetization, of order H(cl), occur at fields of order H0 = phi-0/gamma-s2, where phi-0 is the flux quantum, s is the interlayer spacing, and gamma is the anisotropy (gamma = lambda-c/lambda-ab, where lambda-c and lambda-ab are the penetration depths for currents perpendicular and parallel to the layers, respectively). The asymptotic dependence of the magnetization M at high fields H >> H0 is M is-proportional-to H(-3).
