THE TRUST was set up in 1996 in memory of MichaelKalisher QC, who died tragically in the prime of his career.Michael represented all the best qualities of the CriminalBar he loved. He was passionate, committed, fearless andirreverent, and had a powerful appreciation of the privilegeand the responsibility of speaking for others when it reallymattered. As he wished, we help talented students who mightotherwise be unable to come to the Bar due to a lack ofresources, and we encourage those with conspicuous talentbut limited means.

Red Lion Chambers is one of the leading criminal sets in the UK. We are able to provide expert

advice and advocacy in respect of every kind of fraud, crime and regulatory matter and have

experience working with lawyers and clients both here and in overseas jurisdictions. In addi-

tion individuals and teams within this large set have developed niche practices in a number of

quasi-criminal and regulatory fields. Our members have considerable expertise in such areas

as coroners’ inquests, public inquiries, professional discipline in medicine, finance, sport,

courts martial, health and safety, fire law, environmental regulation and tax/VAT tribunals.

“Because Red Lion Chambers hasthat strength and depth, if youcannot obtain your barrister ofchoice, there is always someone ofequal stature and ability to thentake on the case.” (Chambers andPartners)

“Clients consistently praise thequality of the representation bycounsel and also the quality ofadministration by the clerks”(The Legal 500)

“One of the prestige sets”(Chambers and Partners)

“The clerks are very helpfuland always do their very bestto accommodate us at shortnotice. They work closely withthe members, so they are verygood at knowing who you willlike and who you will want.”(Chambers and Partners)

AWARD-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.
