About

Robert J.

He is licensed in Texas and Washington and works with lawyers in other jurisdictions, e.g., Virgina, California, and New York.  He also represents a leading micro-finance institution, Oikocredit, that manages nearly $1 billion in assets with loan transactions in the United States. Mr. Gaudet served as co-chair and vice-chair of the American Bar Association Section of International Law Human Rights Committee, is now a member; is currently a board member of Lawyers Helping Hungry Children; and is a member of Public Justice. He was chair of the Lawyers Tent City Task Force, providing free legal clinics for homeless residents of Seattle’s Tent Cities; a volunteer at the Union Gospel Mission legal clinics; Parliamentarian of the King County Democratic Central Committee; and chair of a Washington State Bar Association Civil Rights Committee investigation into racial discrimination in the Olympic Peninsula. During law school, Mr. Gaudet worked as a summer associate at Ness Motley Loadholt Richardson & Poole PA; Baker Botts; Bear Stearns Risk Arbitrage Desk; Susman Godfrey; Roberts Sheridan Kotel; and Habitat for Humanity International’s Legal Department. Mr. Gaudet is licensed to practice law in the State of Washington.    Prior to law school, Mr. Gaudet worked as a paralegal at the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, Criminal Section, by assisting prosecutions of police officers, e.g., Louisiana officers who killed a civilian woman who complained about excessive force to the Internal Affairs Division; compiling a database of hate crimes against Muslim mosques and institutions; and by assisting prosecutions for peonage and racial violence.  He interned for the Clinton White House Office of Public Liaison; the Democratic National Committee Office of Latino Affairs; and Congressman Xavier Becerra (D-CA). During college, Mr. Gaudet worked as a Peace Monitor for the Wits/Vaal Regional Peace Secretariat around Johannesburg, South Africa to help ensure a smooth transition from apartheid to democracy under the auspices of the National Peace Accord.

I undertook my master’s degree in law several years ago. Robert Gaudet, was initially my human rights lecturer and eventually my intern advisor. Throughout my entire education and working life, Robert is the person who sticks out in my mind. He instilled confidence in me and encouraged my ambition at every corner. I have rarely met a person, who I hold in such high regard. He is honest to a fault and unbelievably efficient. It was a pleasure to work under him and I would very confidently recommend him and his services to anyone who is in need of them, without any hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert on a transnational employment contract on behalf of a Dutch client operating worldwide that wanted to hire an American CFO. Robert provided us with an excellent employment contract that was tailored to our specifications. He added useful clauses that we did not necessarily expect such as an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration clause and non-compete and confidentiality provisions. Robert was prompt, accessible, and easy to work with. I recommend him to any Dutch business seeking assistance with U.S. legal matters
