HE TRUST was set up in 1996 in memory of Michael Kalisher QC, who died tragically in the prime of his career. Michael represented all the best qualities of the Criminal Bar he loved.

He was passionate, committed, fearless and irreverent, and had a powerful appreciation of the privilege and the responsibility of speaking for others when it really mattered. As he wished, we help talented students who might otherwise be unable to come to the Bar due to a lack of resources, and we encourage those with conspicuous talent but limited means.

LINCOLN HOUSE CHAMBERS fields advocates across a range of practice areas from state-of-the-art premises in Manchester. The set deliberately nurtures an ethos of excellence in advocacy, and, in meeting the demands of the client. For over thirty five years this approach has allowed Lincoln House to maintain a lead over its rivals.

Predominantly a criminal set, Chambers has a particular expertise dealing with cases of the utmost gravity and complexity. Over the years Chambers’ caseload has included many of the major criminal cases of the day.

Today Chambers has re-engineered itself to meet the demands of modern legal practice. Teams of advocates practice in a variety of regulatory and disciplinary fields and in growing areas of civil litigation. Investment in

IT has allowed for a new document management system capable of dealing with members’ heavyweight practices.

One benefit of Chambers’ standing is that it finds itself at the hub of an important network of the key players in its practice areas. LHC can count among its clients a number of leading solicitors’ firms and a many of the key figures within the prosecuting authorities.

Planned expansion and organic growth now means that there are 13 Queen’s Counsel and 53 juniors in chambers. A number of members hold judicial appointments in tribunals and in the higher courts.

Most members of chambers are qualified to accept work on a direct access basis.

WARD-WINNING ARTIST RICHARD CLARE has been fascinated by landscapes from a very early age.

Most weekends were spent with a sketchbook in hand walking the moors and dales of the Peak District and Yorkshire, the nearest counties to his hometown of Sheffield, and later throughout The British Isles. Since those early days of discovery, Richard worked for over 15 years in the graphics industry before becoming a full-time artist in 1998.

His painting technique is based more upon memory recollection supported by sketches and photographs, depending on his choice of subject. “Walking in the landscape, soaking up the atmosphere is just as important as the final act of painting. I am not particularly interested in lifelike realism as I want the viewer to complete the picture in their own minds” says Richard.

Many artists continue to inspire him, especially The French Impressionists, Abstract Expressionists and The Scottish Colourists, all these art movements conveyed shape and form via colour and bold mark making.

In addition to vibrant colour, light quality plays a huge part in his work, just one of the reasons why he made the bold decision to move to Italy in 2007. In December 2013 he moved back to the area of Saddleworth where he has had a studio for over 12 years. However, he makes several trips a year back to Barga, a hilltop medieval town in Northern Tuscany and the Italian/French Riviera.

“Strong use of colour always plays a major role in my work, it is what links my wide subject matter. From cityscapes to the landscapes of northern England, Italy and France, whether plein air painting or studio-based work. Even adding colour where there is none, I want to create my own colourful world in my paintings, they cheer people up on a dull day, even my colour-blindness adds another dimension!” says Richard.

He has received media attention in national magazines, won several awards, including finalist in a competition organised by The International Artist magazine, where over 3000 entries were received from all over the world. His paintings are snapped up by enthusiastic collectors throughout Britain, Europe and as far as USA and Australia.
