Education industry team chair and Professional + Collegiate Sports industry team member Kathleen E. Dion shared insights on the rapidly evolving legal framework governing college athletics in the article, "A series of court rulings turned college football upside down. What's next?" published by USA Today on August 26, 2026. The article examines the legal and practical implications of recent court decisions and NCAA policy changes that have created uncertainty around athlete eligibility, including the possibility of former college football players returning from NFL training camps to compete in college athletics. Addressing the growing tension between NCAA oversight and conference-level governance, Kate noted that recent court rulings may not necessarily invalidate rules adopted independently by athletic conferences. "While state-court injunctions against NCAA-wide eligibility restrictions certainly create legal uncertainty, conferences may believe those decisions do not automatically invalidate their own independently adopted rules," she said. "Whether that distinction ultimately holds up will depend on the particular conference, the rule being challenged, and the legal theory at issue." The article explores how ongoing litigation, regulatory changes, and conference responses are reshaping the landscape of college athletics and raising new legal questions about eligibility, governance, and athlete participation.

Robinson+Cole announced that E. Sean Medina has joined the firm as a partner in its Managed Care + ERISA Litigation group. Medina’s arrival marks another step in the group’s ongoing expansion, enhancing its ability to serve clients facing increasingly complex managed care, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), payor-provider, and other business-critical disputes. An experienced managed care and commercial litigator, Medina has represented managed care organizations, health insurers, and other industry clients for nearly 20 years in complex, high-stakes litigation and arbitration matters, including payor-provider disputes, ERISA litigation, class actions, state statutory claims, commercial disputes, and disputes involving Medicaid contract bids. He brings extensive experience guiding clients through all phases of litigation, from pre-suite strategy through trial and appeal. “We’re welcoming Sean to Robinson+Cole at a time of significant growth for our practice,” said Matthew P. Mazzola, co-chair of the firm’s Managed Care + ERISA Litigation group. “As demand for sophisticated counsel in the managed care and ERISA space continues to grow, Sean’s proven litigation experience, industry insight, and strategic approach will further strengthen our ability to help clients navigate their most challenging matters. His first-chair trial experience and deep understanding of the managed care industry make him a valuable addition to our team.” “Robinson+Cole has built an impressive Managed Care + ERISA Litigation practice and a reputation for delivering exceptional client service,” said Medina. “The firm’s collaborative culture and practical approach to helping clients navigate complex business and regulatory challenges made this opportunity especially compelling. I look forward to contributing to the group's continued success and helping our clients achieve their business objectives.” Medina's addition is complemented by the arrival of Mary Kate McDevitt, who also joins the firm’s Managed Care + ERISA Litigation group. An associate in the Philadelphia office, McDevitt’s practice concentrates on defending managed care organizations, life and disability insurers, plan administrators, employers, and fiduciaries in disputes arising under ERISA and other state and federal laws. She also brings experience across a broad range of litigation matters, including False Claims Act and qui tam actions, government enforcement, compliance, white-collar litigation, and cybersecurity and privacy disputes. Robinson+Cole’s Managed Care + ERISA Litigation group has experienced significant growth over the past year, reflecting the firm’s broader strategic investment in attracting top talent and strengthening key practices to meet clients’ evolving needs. Now 20 lawyers strong, the group brings together accomplished litigators who collaborate seamlessly across disciplines, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to delivering exceptional service, innovative solutions, and results that consistently meet and exceed client expectations.
Today, Robinson+Cole announced the formalization of its Professional + Collegiate Sports industry team, bringing together attorneys and professionals from the firm’s Immigration, Labor + Employment, Litigation, Education, Real Estate, Construction Law, Intellectual Property, Data Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence practices. The team draws on the firm’s extensive experience in these areas to provide coordinated counsel to sports leagues and teams, institutions, talent—athletes and coaches, investors, and sports-related businesses as they navigate issues involving name, image, and likeness (NIL), Title IX compliance, global mobility and sports tourism, media rights, private investment, emerging technologies, venue development, and the continued growth of women’s sports. "The sports industry represents an estimated $2.3 trillion global economy, and its continued growth is creating both opportunities and complexity across professional and collegiate athletics," said Robert C. Seiger, Chair of the new team. "As the sports industry continues to evolve, clients are increasingly seeking counsel that spans multiple disciplines and aligns with their broader strategic objectives. The formalization of this team reflects that demand and our commitment to serving clients across the sports ecosystem through an integrated approach." The team's focus will center on three strategic areas: Sports Immigration and Talent Mobility: Visa strategy, athlete and coach immigration, executive movement, global talent support, compliance, and mobility planning. Sports Venues, Infrastructure, and Development: Stadium and arena projects, training facilities, leasing and real estate transactions, construction and infrastructure matters, public and private financing, naming rights, sponsorship arrangements, and land use considerations. Collegiate Athletics and Institutional Risk Management: NIL matters, Title IX compliance, eligibility issues, employment matters, governance, investigations, litigation, licensing, and institutional risk management. Robinson+Cole's work spans athlete and executive mobility, intellectual property protection, commercial transactions, venue development, employment matters, investigations, litigation, and regulatory compliance. Representative matters include providing immigration and mobility services for NHL, NFL, MLS, and NWSL organizations, obtaining an industry-first O-1 visa for an IndyCar race team, representing professional race drivers and teams, managing trademark matters for high-profile sports figures, advising a WNBA organization on the design and construction of a new training facility, and handling real estate and leasing matters involving major sports properties. "This team reflects Robinson+Cole’s significant strength and capability across multiple disciplines to address the full range of issues facing sports organizations," said J. Michael Wirvin, the firm’s Managing Partner. "Many of the challenges in today’s sports industry do not fit neatly within a single practice area. By formalizing this effort, we are creating a more coordinated experience for clients while positioning the firm to continue growing alongside this dynamic industry." Beyond its client work, Robinson+Cole is actively engaged in advancing the sports industry through leadership, scholarship, and engagement. Team members regularly contribute to national conversations on emerging sports law developments and are frequently sought by media outlets for commentary on issues affecting professional and collegiate athletics, most recently USA Today and the Sports Business Journal. They also participate in leading industry organizations, such as the Sports Lawyers Association, where Seiger currently serves as Chair of the Immigration Committee. The firm is recognized for its role at the intersection of sports and global talent mobility.
Robinson+Cole continues to gain national recognition for its commitment to pro bono service, earning improved placements in both The American Lawyer's 2026 Pro Bono Scorecard and Law360 Pulse's 2026 Pro Bono Rankings. The firm was ranked #91 in The American Lawyer's 2026 Pro Bono Scorecard, moving up two spots from the previous year. R+C also climbed nine positions in Law360 Pulse's 2026 Pro Bono Rankings for firms with 250-600 attorneys, rising to #16 in its category. Now in his third year as chair of Robinson+Cole's Pro Bono Committee, Seth Orkand credits the firm's continued progress to the strong culture of service embraced across the organization. "The momentum behind our pro bono program continues to grow alongside our firm," said Seth. "It's rewarding to see so many lawyers and professional staff embrace opportunities to make a meaningful difference. We're proud of what we've accomplished and remain focused on expanding our impact in the communities we serve."
