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.
