GRACE ROSE GWYNNE
Barrister, Legal Expert, Broadcaster and Podcaster
BIOGRAPHY
Award-winning barrister and TV and media personality Grace Rose Gwynne was the youngest barrister in the UK, when she was called to the Bar aged just 21.
Birmingham-born lawyer Grace, a podcaster and broadcaster, who regularly appears across primetime television shows, is not your stereotypical legal expert. She is in a lane of her own and her career reflects extraordinary courage, resilience and commitment to equality and justice.
Robust and fierce lawyer Grace was this year publicly recognised as one of the leading barristers in the UK when she was named in the prestigious Legal 500 - an esteemed directory listing the top barristers across the UK.
She was the first lawyer ever to receive the Junior Barrister of the Year Award from Birmingham Law Society, for her inspiring work so early in her career; for de-mystifying female access to the law profession and for her strident standout extensive campaigning work on gender and age bias and on issues like revenge porn.
Grace specialises in Family, Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence and works at No5 Chambers – one of the largest in the UK. She has also worked overseas in the US as a criminal defence and personal injury attorney.
Never one to just follow the status quo, Grace has been shattering glass ceilings since becoming a lawyer. In her Ted Talk “Fighting For A Place in The Old Boys’ Club”, she highlighted the sexism and ageist prejudices she experiences as a young female junior barrister working in a male-dominated profession and she is now authoring a book to serve as a guide to aspiring young female barristers.
Grace, is a strong advocate for fairness and empowerment with a modern, strong female voice dedicated to making the law accessible; transforming complex issues into clear, compelling insights that inspire confidence and action. She champions transparency and accountability while actively paving the way for greater female representation and leadership across all professions.
Grace is passionate about all aspects of the law and has just launched a highly engaging new TikTok format, highlighting global celebrity cases and hot-off-the-press news and crime stories.
MEDIA WORK
Grace appears regularly on primetime TV and radio shows across ITV, BBC and Sky, including Good Morning Britain and Jeremy Vine and is a legal expert on the BBC’s long-running series Rip Off Britain. Grace is the legal expert in the new BBC documentary, Toxic Gossip, hosted by the A-lister and content creator GK Barry, who investigates one of the UK’s most notorious and controversial gossip sites – Tattle Life – produced by Full Fat Television.
She is the co-host for Crime and Investigation’s podcast, Courtroom Drama, which gives an entertaining insight into celebrity court cases involving the rich and famous and she’s also the legal expert in A&E network’s Anatomy of a Stalker, giving professional insight into the realities and shortfalls of the law regarding stalking.
Grace is also an excellent public speaker and host appearing at many high profile educational, corporate and business events at prestigious venues. Grace was recently the key-note speaker at Westminster giving an inspiring talk to this year’s new intake of UK barristers as well as hosting a digital transformation summit at The Ivy. Grace challenges audiences with candid, thought-provoking
conversations about careers, equality, resilience, confidence and tenacity.
Articulate, vibrant, incisive and relatable with very robust journalistic and investigative skills, Grace has a very warm, engaging and energetic screen presence – think Stacey Dooley but with the gravitas and personal insight of being a lawyer.
Grace is able to explain complex, intense subject matter in a user-friendly way, always bringing levity with her own unique sense of humour. She is passionate about both contemporary and historical crime, as well as history, consumer, lifestyle and popular culture.
