Data Ownership and Privacy Risks in Health Tech

Unclear data terms expose you to HIPAA liability, breaches, and partnership risk.

Over-Reliance on Costly Outside Legal Counsel

Cross-Border Corruption & FCPA Exposure

Distributors, agents, and government touchpoints abroad create FCPA, UKBA, and OECD anti-bribery risk that boards can no longer ignore.

Anti-Corruption Counsel That Travels With You

Risk-tiered third-party diligence, contracting controls, and DOJ-aligned program design built for multinationals and cross-border deals.

Whistleblower & Misconduct Allegations

Hotline complaints, accounting concerns, and executive misconduct allegations demand privileged, board-credible investigations — fast.

Privileged Internal Investigations

Board-level scoping, witness strategy, and written reporting calibrated for regulators, audit committees, and litigation use.

DOJ, SEC & Foreign-Regulator Inquiries

Parallel U.S. and foreign government inquiries strain in-house teams and put privilege, disclosure, and reputation at risk.

Robyn D. Marino, Esquire

Leading with Experience

I am a Payor Strategist and Legal Advisor focused on helping health technology companies navigate regulatory complexity, commercial strategy, and market entry across global markets, including the United States. With more than 20 years of experience working inside highly regulated healthcare environments, I understand the real-world challenges organizations face—from stalled payor negotiations and regulatory alignment with FDA, HIPAA, and CMS, to structuring contracts that support scale, access, and transparency.

Through Global Link Law, I work as a strategic partner to founders, executives, and legal teams—providing legal advisory, compliance leadership, and risk management support that aligns with business objectives. Whether acting as in-house counsel support, Fractional General Counsel, or Fractional Chief Compliance Officer, my focus is on ensuring contracts, compliance frameworks, and governance structures enable growth rather than slow it down.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and execution-oriented. Legal and compliance strategies should not be barriers—they should be tools that build trust, support innovation, and drive sustainable success in the healthcare ecosystem.

Lawriocity®: Compliance Training, Reinvented by Legal Experts

Lawriocity® bridges the gap between legal risk and operational readiness, helping your teams stay ahead in a complex regulatory environment.

Supporting a Global Health Client During a Crisis

During a crisis, we advised an international health company as it faced complex legal and operational challenges in a country with an overwhelmed healthcare system. The company, responsible for a large workforce in the region, needed help navigating local regulations and ensuring access to care. We provided strategic legal guidance to support compliance and continuity of service during a highly volatile period.

Testimonials

John Murabito

Chief Administrative Officer, Retired - The Cigna Group

Robyn was critical to the successful execution of dozens of contracts and deals that enabled our HR function to deliver innovative solutions to significant business challenges. She applied her legal knowledge and strong grasp of the business to ensure we always enjoyed favorable, compliant, smart and flexible terms. Robyn’s expertise was not only sought, but required, before we agreed to any contract of importance. She was an important and needed partner to my HR function.

Mitchell Vuernick

Senior Director - Aviation

I have had the pleasure of working with Robyn Marino, ESQ for the past 10 years under various circumstances. In typical Fortune companies, attorneys are assigned the next task in line as compared to remaining with the same client (department).

My first interaction with Ms. Marino was in regard to a real estate lease renewal. As we began to work together, I was impressed with her detailed knowledge of contract law, protections for the client, penchant for details and dedication to the task. All too often in large companies, priorities shift, and processes get dropped down on the priority list. Ms. Marino maintained focus on the tasks and completed her due diligence in an expedited manner.

Based on this first project she became our “go-to” person for all legal matters regardless of her area of expertise. As an aviation department within a large corporation, our needs are specialized, highly sensitive and contain financial risk. Every time we worked together, Ms. Marino met the challenge by asking questions and educating herself on the nuances of this specificity of the project.

Our last project together culminated in the purchase of a ultra-long-range corporate aircraft. The multimillion-dollar transaction progressed flawlessly as Ms. Marino shepherded it to close.

Every transaction we encountered with Ms. Marino in our corner was a success for our department.

Alicia Kennedy

I had the sincere privilege of working with Robyn on several strategic vendor transactions while at Cigna. Robyn navigated the dynamic and often complex landscape of global health services with straightforwardness and a high degree of professionalism.

Robyn approached each transaction with curiosity, a sincere willingness to understand the business need, and a commitment to quality outcomes. She has a keen ability to navigate intricate contractual agreements, negotiate terms that favor the organization, and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Robyn was an invaluable asset to Cigna’s procurement department and I’m grateful for the positive impact she had on our operations. 

Robyn is a reliable and trustworthy colleague and I learned so much from working alongside her. I enthusiastically endorse Robyn as a legal professional and partner of the highest caliber.

Bart Jordens

Consultant and Advisor

I had the pleasure of working closely with Robyn for many years on complex contract negotiations in the health tech and insurtech sector. Her exceptional legal expertise, combined with a diplomatic and approachable demeanor, made every collaboration a productive experience. Robyn’s willingness to patiently explain intricate legal details ensured a thorough understanding, making her an invaluable asset to the team.

Jim Kucharczyk

Managing Director, IT Global Procurement & Supplier Management

I worked with Robyn for more than 10 years at Cigna and was very sorry to see her leave.  She is a highly capable and thorough attorney, ferocious in her defense of our company’s rights and insightful into potential risks and pitfalls.  I would look forward to working with her again on my side of the table and would dread seeing her on the other side.

Karthik Ganesh

CEO, OnMed

OnMed is in the midst of a significant transformation and has aggressive multi-pronged goals across growth, scalability, compliance, IP filings for a new category of healthcare access, etc. We have a really smart GC but just the sheer volume and complexity of the moving pieces would have consumed her completely but for Robyn and her Global Link Law practice. On the legal, regulatory, and contracting fronts she has helped us accelerate our efforts, while helping us standardize and optimize efforts and processes along the way. An attorney with very strong client-facing skills, Robyn has very effectively partnered with our GC to give her the support she needs, strategically and tactically. As needed, she has brought in other legal talent who could more specifically work with us on our more nuanced needs. Would highly recommend Robyn personally and her broader practice.

Strategic Legal Counsel for Healthcare & Health Technology

Your organization faces legal and regulatory complexity that demands more than outside counsel — it demands a partner who has sat on your side of the table.

From government investigations and FCPA matters to healthcare M&A and payer contracting, we’ve handled it from the inside and from the courtroom.

Whether you need fractional leadership, transactional support, or a defensible compliance framework, we deliver counsel built around what the business actually needs. What sets us apart is real-world in-house experience — our partners have served in senior legal roles within large and publicly traded companies, giving them a direct understanding of what business leaders and boards actually need from legal counsel.
