Global World Made Small

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
