RC Law is pleased to announce the strengthening of its Tax practice with the addition of Partner Daniel Landaluce, who will be based in Washington, D.C., and Counsel María Martínez, who will be based in Barcelona, Spain. Together, they bring decades of tax experience that will enhance RC Law’s ability to serve international and U.S. clients.
Daniel who has been collaborating with RC Law in the past, will lead the Firm’s tax practice. He is a graduate from ESADE Law School in Barcelona and holds a Master in Taxation from Fordham University. A former tax executive at PwC Spain and then New York, he has more than 20 years of combined Big Four and in-house leadership experience at major U.S. headquartered corporations (including Huawei U.S., UiPath, a company listed in the NYSE, and Reef Technology). He is qualified as a tax adviser in both Spain and in the U.S. Daniel specializes in advising companies expanding globally and managing the tax needs of U.S. multinationals. He brings to the Firm a unique combination of expertise in cross-border tax structuring and in U.S. corporate income tax law.
María is also an ESADE Law School graduate. She holds an LL.M. in Taxation from Georgetown University and is admitted to practice both in Spain and in New York. María’s career spans over 20 years as a member of the tax practice groups of international firms such as Baker & McKenzie and EY. While she started her career in Spain, she has practiced in the United States for most of her professional life. Immediately prior to joining RC Law, Maria worked at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as Manager of the Treaty Assistance and Interpretation Team of Treaty and Transfer Pricing Operations in the Large Business and International (LB&I) Division. Her experience in both the EY National Office in Washington, DC and the IRS brings a strong tax policy perspective to RC Law’s tax team.
“The addition of Daniel and María significantly enhances our tax capabilities at a time when our clients are facing increasingly complex U.S. tax challenges,” said Xavier Ruiz, RC Law’s Founding Partner. “We are very fortunate to have such a team of highly qualified, Spanish speaking, cross-border tax experts, who have combined private practice, in-house and Administration experience in the United States: a rare find”, added Xavier Ruiz.
“I am very excited to take on this new role as a leader of RC Law’s Tax Practice,” said Daniel Landaluce. “Having collaborated with RC Law in the past, I have seen firsthand the firm’s international vision and dedication to client service. I look forward to further expanding our tax offering and supporting clients in their U.S. growth.”
“I am delighted to join RC Law,” said María Martínez. “The firm’s strong international profile makes it the ideal platform to continue advising clients on cross-border tax and legal issues, and I am eager to contribute to strengthening our services in Europe and the U.S.”
