Rodolfo Rivera
Chief international counsel and legal hold officer | Fidelity National Financial
Rodolfo Rivera is a well-known figure in the US in-house legal market. In his current position he is chief international counsel for Fidelity National Financial – a Fortune 500 company that provides insurance, claims management services, real estate solutions and information services. Rivera manages all of Fidelity’s corporate and litigation matters outside of the US, and has had a particular focus on Latin America in recent years. Rivera was ultimately responsible for the successful opening of a Fidelity National Title office in Mexico, opening an extremely significant new market for the company. His expertise in the region is such that he is often asked to speak at events. In addition to his expertise in corporate law, litigation, and labour and immigration matters, Rivera’s understanding of global businesses has allowed him to oversee Fidelity’s international expansion – at one point coordinating attorneys in 34 countries to ensure insurance policies in each country were issued correctly. Rivera has held a number of wider roles within the in-house legal community, including at the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) as the International Committee President and as a member of the Global Board of Directors.
