The Practice

The distinction between what a regulation says and how an institution behaves is not a theoretical framework here.

The Calyx Group is led by Damian Gonzalez, a transactional attorney with seventeen years of experience structuring cross-border transactions across the United States and Latin America.

That work has centered on the transactions that define market presence: building the legal and regulatory framework for a global energy major's entry into the Mexican downstream market from inception, negotiating infrastructure and supply agreements across regulated sectors, structuring joint ventures between multinationals and local partners, and designing the compliance architecture that determines whether an operation holds up under scrutiny — on both sides of the transaction, in-house and in private practice, in energy, infrastructure, and industrial markets.

That experience is the foundation of how this firm works.
