About Gonzalo A
Gonzalo A Fernandez built his professional foundation on a dual course of study. He earned a Juris Doctor and an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis in 1989. Before that he completed a Bachelor of Arts at Boston College in 1985. The combination of legal and business degrees shaped his early approach to practice and presented a broad set of tools for solving client problems.
The year 1989 marked a pivot. He left law school equipped to navigate both legal analysis and business strategy. That training is a through line in how he frames cases and transactions. It also shapes the questions he asks and the options he presents to clients. He balances statutory and regulatory considerations against practical commercial realities.
He is admitted to practice in Missouri, Illinois and Colorado. Those admissions allow him to work across state lines and to advise clients with interests in multiple jurisdictions. He applies procedural knowledge of each state where it matters most to a particular matter’s outcome.
Fernandez’s career reflects steady practice rather than headline-grabbing litigation. He has moved between client counseling, transactional work and courtroom matters as circumstances required. He often handles matters that call for both legal judgment and an understanding of business incentives. That blend is useful whether negotiating contracts, addressing compliance questions, or preparing filings for civil disputes.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and thorough. He favors clear explanations over legalese. He tries to give clients a realistic picture of risk and potential reward. In meetings he tends to frame issues in terms that businesspeople and executives can act on. That pragmatic bent traces back to the joint JD/MBA training he completed decades ago.
Outside of court and contract negotiations, he keeps current on developments in the three states where he is licensed. This includes changes in procedural rules and shifts in the commercial and regulatory environments that affect client decisions. He adapts his practice as those landscapes change.
He currently maintains a multi-jurisdictional practice handling matters in Missouri, Illinois and Colorado.
