Robyn is a Partner in Wiggin and Dana’s Litigation Department. Her nationwide practice focuses on complex commercial cases, aviation matters, and insurance coverage disputes. She has experience litigating in state and federal courts and before various government agencies and arbitral bodies.

Robyn’s understanding of business financials is an asset to clients. As a former CPA, her accounting background provides a unique perspective on issues central to many litigations and makes her ideally situated to address complex commercial damages calculations, including those pertaining to lost profits. For example, during a recent trial, she successfully moved to preclude the opposing party’s expert damages opinion prior to trial. In a recent ERISA class action case, Robyn successfully argued that a damages expert should not be permitted to rehabilitate his opinion during trial by fundamentally altering his methodology in a way that would increase damages up to $50 million. Robyn also regularly assists corporate clients with post-closing disputes that call for the application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Additionally, Robyn defends aviation manufacturers and servicers in product liability and negligence actions nationwide. Robyn works closely with both technical and damages experts in formulating a comprehensive defense.
