He is head of chambers at One Essex Court, a leading set of commercial barristers in the Temple,[2] and was the Treasurer of Lincoln's Inn for 2013.[3] From 2014 to 2021 he served as the Master of Clare College, Cambridge and, since 2015, he has served as the President of the University of Law.

In 1999, he was made a life peer as Baron Grabiner, and sat in the House of Lords on the Labour Party benches. In October 2015, he resigned the Labour whip over the direction the party was taking under Jeremy Corbyn. He sat in the Lords as a non-affiliated member and now crossbench peer, but remains a member of the Labour Party.
