Who we are

Our firm’s history and current team

Our History

RC Law LLP was founded in January 2017 in New York and Miami by Xavier Ruiz, after having practiced in New York for over 20 years in some of the world’s leading law firms, including Baker & McKenzie, K&L Gates and Holland & Knight.  He also practiced in Spain and Argentina.  Since then, the Firm has grown organically with the addition of qualified attorneys with diverse backgrounds.

In August of 2021, RC Law combined with Sanchez Fisher Levine LLP, a Miami-based litigation firm with strong expertise on complex commercial litigation, corporate investigations, white collar crime and international arbitration.  The two firms jointly operate under an Of Counsel arrangement, have adopted common best practices standards and share certain professional and other resources.  As a result of this highly integrated alliance, the combined firms have offices in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, and a presence in Orlando and Ft Lauderdale, Florida. Attorneys are admitted in California, DC, Florida, Illinois, New York, Texas, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Spain.

Our Philosophy

We like to partner with our clients and to be regarded as their “trusted advisors” in addition to their legal counsel. We often go beyond rendering legal advice and assist clients in the development of their business policies and strategies.

We know that clients want their counsel to be “hands on” and not lose control over the matters entrusted to them because of work delegation or otherwise. We understand well that clients are concerned about overstaffing and especially about the common “pyramid” structures at large law firms which often have unnecessary layers of lawyer review. Our size and approach to lawyering help ease those concerns. We are equipped to provide personalized and efficient legal support.

We are also sensitive to the clients’ concerns about legal costs and are ready to share the risks (and rewards) with them. We are open to consider a variety of alternative fee arrangements and in certain circumstances, to provide free consultation.

Our Team

RC Law has attorneys admitted to the Bar in the States of Florida, New York, Texas as well as Spain, Argentina, Brazil and Peru.
Virtually all of the Firm’s attorneys have diverse cultural backgrounds, speak several languages and have practiced or are admitted to practice in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Indeed, the team can operate in several foreign languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, and Italian. Thus, the ability of RC Law’ attorneys to work across legal systems and jurisdictions and to overcome cultural and language barriers is one of the Firm’s greatest assets.
