Kevin Martínez

Kevin is a junior associate in the litigation, ADR and arbitration practice in the Madrid office.

He advises public listed companies and investment funds on civil, insolvency and arbitration procedures within the TMT and real estate sectors. His knowledge of the global jurisdiction is also helpful regarding the advisory of international clients and in transnational disputes.

Prior to joining the litigation and arbitration practice, he worked within the energy an infrastructure practices, both in the corporate and the regulatory law teams, giving him a direct insight of these sectors. That background experience is now useful when it comes to advising clients regarding disputes within these industries.

Kevin's experience includes advising:
 

• an automotive supply company on monitoring and defence strategy in a claim brought in Japan for damage caused by an alleged defect in a piece incorporated in certain airbags. The potential defect caused a recall of several car models in different countries
• a Spanish financial entity on recurring court proceedings related to the misselling of banking products marketed by the entity and one of its subsidiaries. On the other hand, we are defending the client on several litigation claims related to the commercialization of financial instruments (SWAPS, IRS, Structured Notes, Preference Shares, etc.). It is a global agreement signed with the financial entity for its recurrent defence of these types of matter
• an international investment company and one of its founders on legal advice and defence, as co-counsels, in a judicial investigation for allegedly committed crimes related to the purchase of a Spanish TMT/media company before the national Court
