RCD reinforces its specialisation in insurance litigation with the incorporation of Javier Martínez
RCD strengthens its specialisation in insurance, commercial, and financial litigation with the addition of Javier Martínez as a partner of the Dispute Resolution Area. His arrival reinforces the commitment of firm to highly specialised talent and consolidates its capabilities in strategic areas
An expert in insurance and reinsurance, Javier Martínez has built his career advising leading operators in the insurance and reinsurance sector on commercial disputes and complex litigation involving contractual and non-contractual liability, as well as disputes over coverage, subrogation actions, and the processing of complex or mass claims.
He has been involved in some of the most significant insurance cases in the market, related to financial lines—including directors' and officers' liability, professional liability, workplace accidents, and cybersecurity—as well as claims for property damage, general liability, environmental damage, and defective products. His litigation experience also extends to disputes arising from M&A transactions, engineering and construction projects, competition law infringements, mass torts, and agency and distribution disputes. He also advises on the analysis and execution of investments in litigation assets (litigation funding), and insurance policies for lawsuits and legal contingencies.
Before joining RCD, he worked at leading national and international law firms, and in 2023 he completed a secondment in the legal department of a fund specialising in litigation funding.
According to Adolf Rousaud, co-managing partner of RCD: “The arrival of Javier arrival reinforces our well-established dispute resolution practice and highly qualified team, and allows us to continue to support our clients in highly complex matters, where specialisation and experience make all the difference”.
Similarly, Ignasi Costas, co-managing partner of RCD, notes that “the addition of Javier bolsters our commitment to sector knowledge as a key distinguishing feature of the firm. His experience in the insurance field fits perfectly with our approach to advising clients, which is based on specialisation, proximity, and a client-oriented approach. His addition to the firm consolidates our specialisation in financial and insurance litigation in a context of increasing litigation and regulatory complexity in the sector”.
For his part, Javier comments that joining RCD is “a great opportunity to become part of a successful project with a very clear identity. I am fully aligned with the approach of the firm, which is based on technical rigour, specialisation, client proximity, and a focus on the real needs of the sector, which is constantly evolving in terms of regulations and case law”.
