About G. Elizabeth Gaudet, Barrister and Solicitor
G. Elizabeth Gaudet, Barrister and Solicitor, is a sole-practitioner law firm in Toronto handling criminal defence and child protection matters. Gaudet was called to the Ontario bar in 1991 and has built more than 35 years of courtroom experience, appearing at every level of the Ontario courts, from the Ontario Court of Justice up to the Superior Court of Justice. The child protection side of the practice, representing parents in cases brought by children's aid societies, dates back to 1997.
Gaudet's path to law was unusual. Before practicing, Gaudet worked at the Library of Parliament, Canada Customs, and Canada Immigration, and the academic record reflects that varied start: a B.A. (Honours) from Queen's University, a Master of Library Science from McGill University, a Master of Arts from Carleton University, and an LL.B from Dalhousie University. Gaudet is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and the Criminal Lawyers' Association. The practice is based at Lawyers' Hall on Elm Street but its client base reaches across the Greater Toronto Area, including Newmarket, Barrie, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Guelph, and Oshawa.
