Robin represents both utility and telecommunications companies before the Maryland Public Service Commission. She also has represented clients in media cases arising out of defamation claims and has applied her media law skills to non-media clients who challenge defamatory speech; seek advice regarding proposed communications to reduce the risk of an action for defamation; and oppose attacks on intellectual property, such as through cyber-squatting. 

Robin's understanding of the legal challenges businesses face is informed by her past experience as a senior associate with Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., a leading management and information technology consulting firm. She provided management consulting services and strategic communications advice to U.S. federal agency clients, including the Department of the Army, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology. The litigation strategies Robin devises are founded on her approach to gaining an in-depth understanding of each client's organization, mission and business processes.
