Pump Court Chambers

Naomi Gyane has established a strong specialist Employment law practice often representing in politically-sensitive, public-interest, high-value and complex employment-related disputes. Her expertise is especially honed in the area of whistleblowing and discrimination claims. This is due to her sound command of the complex legal tests involved and her ability to draw out the relevance of often dense factual matrices to support the case or defence being advanced.

Naomi represents both Respondents and Claimants which gives her the benefit of being able to advise dynamically, objectively, anecdotally and ultimately to anticipate the counter arguments, merits and weaknesses in a case at Final Hearing. She is regularly instructed by international Companies, Multi-national Corporations, Local Authorities, Police Forces and SMEs. She has also represented individuals whether classed as workers or employees and from entry level employment up to C-suite.

We receive instructions for Naomi on all aspects of employment law issues and litigation including, internal HR matters, independent investigations, advising on merits of claims and defences, drafting Tribunal pleadings and representation at Tribunal hearings, interim injunctions/relief and Mediations.

In addition to her employment practice, Naomi also specialises in Ecclesiastical law matters. This includes being appointed to sit as Panel Chair in the Clergy Disciplinary Tribunal and her appointments as Chancellor of the Diocese of Leicester and Deputy Chancellor of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.

Called 2010, Inner Temple (Major Scholar). Completed pupillage at Pump Court Chambers and joined as a tenant upon completion. Whilst Naomi undertakes a number of advisory roles for SMEs, and Local Authorities, her strength is in Trial advocacy. She regularly appears in the Employment Tribunals, Crown Courts and Appellate Court.
