RC Law has announced the strengthening of its Tax Law practice with the addition of two professionals. Daniel Landaluce joins as a partner and will be based in the Washington, D.C. office, while María Martínez joins as counsel from Barcelona, Spain.
“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 Ruiz.
Daniel Landaluce
Landaluce who has been collaborating with RC Law in the past, will lead the firm’s tax practice. A graduate of ESADE Law School in Barcelona with a Master in Taxation from Fordham University, Landaluce brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of Big Four consulting and in-house leadership. His career includes senior tax roles at PwC in Spain and New York, followed by executive positions at major U.S.-headquartered corporations such as Huawei U.S., UiPath (listed on the NYSE), and Reef Technology.
Qualified as a tax adviser in both Spain and the United States, Landaluce advises companies expanding internationally while managing the complex tax needs of U.S. multinationals. His expertise combines cross-border tax structuring with a deep knowledge of U.S. corporate income tax law, further enhancing RC Law’s capabilities to serve global clients.
María Martínez
María Martínez joins RC Law as counsel in Barcelona, further reinforcing the firm’s international tax capabilities. An ESADE Law School graduate with an LL.M. in Taxation from Georgetown University, Martínez is admitted to practice both in Spain and in New York.
Her career spans more than two decades in the tax practice groups of leading international firms, including Baker McKenzie and EY. Although she began her career in Spain, Martínez has spent the majority of her professional life in the United States. Most recently, she served as Manager of the Treaty Assistance and Interpretation Team within Treaty and Transfer Pricing Operations at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service’s Large Business and International Division.
Experience gained at both the IRS and EY’s National Office in Washington, D.C. provides Martínez with a strong tax policy perspective, adding significant depth to RC Law’s growing tax team.
