LINCOLN’S INN ANNUAL REVIEW 2017 1 beginning of 2017 and they will end well after the end of 2017, but it looks as if we will be back there with luck by the Michaelmas term. The works have had their difficulties particularly at the beginning; they have been supervised throughout by a working party, chaired by Sir Kim Lewison, and the Inn owes an enormous debt to him and the other members. The works have inevitably caused significant disruption, with which the Inn’s staff have coped with efficiency and good humour. The library still functions (albeit with a stone spiral staircase access), the Members Common Room has very successfully been relocated to the Old Court Room, and functions which would have taken place in the Great Hall now occur in Old Hall. I have always had a soft spot for Old Hall (despite, or maybe because of, taking my bar exams there almost forty-five years ago), so I did not particularly mind, although I missed the splendid sight of the library being used for dessert on my two Grand Days. Having said that, an unexpected collateral benefit of being excluded from the Great Hall was that, instead of the slightly gloomy Treasurer’s study, I was provided with a delightful flat on the second floor of 19 Old Buildings, with good space, good light and Message From the good views.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury. I know that she will bring new energy to the organisation, and I hope it will continue to thrive under her leadership. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey. In particular Emma Warman, Matthew Green and John Cope who have provided wise counsel as Deputy Chairman. To Sean Anstee who has transformed the finances of the organisation.

  • BLS Annual Report 2013
    Birmingham Law Society PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD President’s Foreword As I considered preparation of this article I glanced at Mary Kaye’s MartinAllsopp, President foreword of last year and noted the words “nothing actually prepares you for the work needed to run Birmingham Law Society”. How right Mary was. I recall that I became your President on St George’s Day and nothing of major significance happened in the first 7 days of my Presidency. Little did I know that a storm was fast approaching from the Atlantic. I prepared myself for a major intervention of a City Firm profession by the SRA and the cost of obtaining which thankfully, up to the date of writing this article, never Professional Indemnity Cover which continues to be a came. I was concerned about the effect on the profession major concern particularly to the smaller firms in our area of alternative business structures and the financial position going forward. It was my ambition to appear on page 3 of of BLS in the midst of a recession. I could not then have the Post but this page is apparently reserved for more known that I would be embroiled in the most significant glamorous articles! Legal Aid battle that the profession had ever witnessed. With experience in the property market for more than 40 I believe that we have reached a hiatus now in the number years this came as somewhat of a challenge. I have done of members of BLS for the time being. A number of my best in every speech that I have made and every article mergers have taken place during my Presidential Year and that I have written to defend the right of access to justice I believe that more will be planned for the next.
