Position

Rebecca Wade KC took silk in 2023, after 18 years of practice at the Bar, to become one of only three female criminal silks in Birmingham.

Rebecca’s appointment to silk followed an extremely busy and successful practice as a senior junior, in both defence and prosecution work. She was the highest level on both the CPS Advocates Panel and Serious Crime Panel. She was also on the Rape panel.

Rebecca’s practice centres on serious crime, with a particular emphasis on homicide and serious sexual offences. She is well known for her tenacity, determination and tactical skill. She practises both locally and nationally. She demonstrates exemplary client care, and goes above and beyond for her clients. The cases in which she is instructed invariably involve complicated issues of law and fact. They involve the most vulnerable in society, and are usually cases which attract significant media interest.
