#21 UK Legal Podcast: Inside BBC Legal: Trainee Solicitor Chimere Nwosu on Media Law and Public Service

Emerging legal talent and trainee solicitor Chimere Nwosu shares her insightful path into media law — shaped by political communication, regulatory experience, and a deep belief in the power of responsible storytelling. A must-listen episode of The Lawyer Files.
—
🎙️ In this episode of The Lawyer Files, I sit down with Chimere Nwosu ; trainee solicitor at the BBC, Politics and Political Communication graduate from Cardiff University, and former Media and Public Affairs Officer at the ASA. With experience across public service, legal regulation, and fast-paced in-house legal teams, Chimere reflects on what it really takes to adapt, communicate, and thrive in media law.

From studying political discourse to supporting a judicial review in the BBC’s litigation seat, Chimere’s story is grounded in empathy, versatility, and purpose-driven growth — both professionally and personally.

We talk about:

✅ How her interest in law started with true crime and was reshaped by global politics and public affairs
✅ The academic journey from Politics and Sociology to a Master’s in Political Communication
✅ What her Media Law module sparked in her — and how it influenced her legal path
✅ Her reflections on training in-house at the BBC and adapting to different legal environments
✅ How non-legal experience helped her build communication skills essential to her legal work
✅ The lawyer’s role in safeguarding public messaging and what responsible communication looks like
✅ Why soft skills are just as important as legal knowledge — especially under pressure
✅ Practical advice for aspiring solicitors from non-traditional backgrounds breaking into media law

Whether you're exploring alternative routes into the profession, interested in in-house legal careers, or building confidence from real-world experience then Chimere’s story is rich with insight, integrity, and intention.
