Career

Rhonda D. Orin is the managing partner of the firm's Washington, D.C. office. and co-chair of its COVID Task Group.

Rhonda represents policyholders in coverage cases nationwide, including cyber liability, third-party tort and environmental liability claims, first-party property damage and business interruption claims, directors & officers liability, errors & omissions liability, fidelity bonds and alternative risk transfer arrangements, including for employee benefit plans. She has served as lead counsel in multiple jury and bench trials, argued before the highest courts of several states, and appeared in two cases before U.S. Supreme Court. Through jury verdicts, summary judgment decisions and confidential settlements before and during litigation, she has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for policyholders, including nine-figure recoveries.

Rhonda also represents hospitals against insurance companies with the zest and expertise of our ordinary insurance practice, even though hospitals are third parties in their insurance relationships (on the health care side) instead of traditional policyholders.
