Naomi is instructed in difficult and challenging cases for both the prosecution and defence, in part due to her particular expertise in sex cases, and those involving young people and/or those with limited mental capacity. She has been instructed in numerous cases attracting high profile media interest, both on a national as well as a local level. She has previously been a seminar leader on vulnerable victims on the CBA Sexual Offences Conference, attendance on which is now all but a prerequisite for those who wish to prosecute serious sex cases. She has appeared in reported cases, been instructed by the Registrar of Criminal Appeals as fresh counsel in an appeal arising from disclosure issues in a sex case, and made without notice PII applications. Her work now includes leading work (i.e. work which would previously have attracted a certificate for Queens’ Counsel). Examples of cases in which she has appeared include:
Naomi defends and prosecutes across the spectrum of criminal offences, including death by driving cases, drugs, and violence. She is a level 3 advocate on the CPS Panel as well as being on the Rape advocate list. She is a past member of various court user committees, and continues to practise exclusively in criminal work.
