Monique Ndaya Mutombo is an attorney in Baron & Budd’s Class Action Litigation Group. She joined the firm in 2024 as part of the document review team.

Ms. Mutombo obtained her J.D. and Master of Laws (LL.M) in International and Comparative Law from Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law in Dallas, Texas in 2018, following her bachelor’s (LL.B) degree from the Protestant University of Congo (Central Africa) in 2006. During her academic tenure, she interned with the United Nations Development Programme and the United States Agency for International Development. Ms. Mutombo then served as a clerk for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas before embarking on a fellowship in federal litigation.

Monique Mutombo believes in making sure that the law helps people achieve their dreams and aspirations. She finds fulfillment in guiding individuals through the legal complexities that often accompany their pursuit of a better life.

In her leisure hours, Ms. Mutombo finds joy in singing and cooking alongside her family, frequently doing both at the same time. She particularly relishes watching “The Voice,” her favorite show, with her husband, where they often engage in practice sessions vocalizing along with the semi-professional singers on TV.
