Ijeoma Omambala KC was called to the Bar in 1989 by Gray’s Inn and was elected a Master of the Bench in 2013. She is currently the Inn’s Master of Outreach.
Ijeoma specialises in equality, employment, industrial and public law and professional regulation, practising from Old Square Chambers. She is a mediator, Fee Paid Employment and Mental Health Tribunal judge.
“My scholarship interview at Gray’s Inn was my first encounter with the legal profession. There were lots of things I didn’t know but I did know that I wanted to be a barrister. I believed I could be a barrister and Gray’s believed it too. They gave me a scholarship which helped me take the first steps on my journey to fulfilling that ambition.
When I have had moments of doubt and disappointment, friends and colleagues in the Inn have encouraged and supported me in ways I never expected.
Gray’s Inn helped me become a barrister and is a big part of the reason I am still a barrister today.”
