About Naomi

Naomi Sayers is a lawyer based in Sault Ste. Marie who represents individuals, professionals, and organizations in reputation, privacy, and criminal matters, including defamation, privacy breaches, and online harassment. She has handled guns and drugs prosecutions, sexual assault defence, and civil litigation involving First Nations funding disputes and police conduct. In Sherman Estate v. Donovan, 2021 SCC 25, she secured a precedent-setting sealing order and publication ban recognizing that stigmatized work can justify sealing a court file or imposing a publication ban. Her practice draws on her past experience in the sex trade, which she says informs her focus on privacy and reputation protection for clients facing public scrutiny. She belongs to the Law and Mental Disorder Association, Women in Canadian Criminal Defence, and the Criminal Lawyers' Association.
