Robert Bauer is a partner at Perkins Coie, a law firm. He is President Barack Obama's personal attorney and has been the general counsel of the Obama for America presidential campaign since January 2007. He is also the general counsel to the Democratic National Committee[1].

He is married to Anita Dunn, the director of communications at the White House. Together, they were described as Washington's new "power couple" in Newsweek magazine.[2]

He received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1976. [3]

On October 22, 2009, Fox News pundit Glenn Beck received a call on his show from an inside source that claimed Bauer had secured a new (and potentially controversial) job. (Strongly implying Bauer is replacing Gregory Craig.)
