NEW YORK, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- National law firm Wilson Elser today announced that Sean Maraynes has joined the firm as a partner in the Medical Malpractice & Health Care Practice.

Maraynes rejoins the firm after six years at a New York defense litigation firm. He previously served as of counsel at Wilson Elser before departing in 2019. Effective June 15, he will be based in the White Plains office and serve clients across the New York Metro region.

"On behalf of Wilson Elser, I am pleased to welcome Sean back to the firm," said Lori Semlies, cochair of the firm's Medical Malpractice & Health Care Practice. "Sean is a skilled trial attorney with a proven track record of success, and his extensive experience in defending high-exposure casualty matters will be a significant asset to our medical malpractice and health care clients."

Maraynes cited the firm's "esteemed reputation for defending businesses, hospitals, and health care providers" as a key factor in his decision to return. "I am excited to be back and represent clients with the full backing of a national law firm," he said.

Maraynes defends physicians, businesses, and nonprofit organizations in medical malpractice and catastrophic personal injury matters. As lead counsel, he has tried more than 40 cases to resolution, including wrongful death, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, New York Labor Law, premises liability, and construction litigation matters. He has tried cases in all five boroughs of New York City and the surrounding counties. Maraynes is a member of the invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates.
