Javier was previously Vice Chairman and Global General Counsel of the PricewaterhouseCoopers network of firms spanning 157 countries. As Global General Counsel of PwC, Javier was involved in a wide variety of commercial, regulatory and other disputes all over the world, enhancing his ability to bring a client-focused perspective aimed at solving clients’ problems. A native of Argentina raised in the U.S. and trained as a U.S. trial lawyer, Javier regularly handles arbitration and litigation matters in both English and Spanish.
Javier is a Fellow of Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. He is ranked by Chambers USA as one of the top international arbitration lawyers in the U.S., noting that he “understands the business perspective of an issue” and “is particularly well placed to act for investors in treaty matters.” He also has been cited by Chambers for his “marvelous ability to translate the client’s position into the language of international arbitration,” “a very sophisticated cross-examiner” equally “effective with the written word,” and that “being fluent in Spanish accentuates the decidedly international edge to Rubinstein’s practice, whereby he has acted for U.S., Latin American, European and Asian clients.”
