Lincoln House is a leading barristers’ chambers for inquest work. Our members have appeared in some of the most high profile and significant inquests in recent years and are recognised and leaders in this field of work. The quality of our members and service provided in this specialist practice area is endorsed, year upon year, by the leading legal directories.

Our members regularly appear in the Coroner’s Court representing the full range of interested parties including bereved families, corporate bodies and companies, government departments, local authorities, health professionals, care homes, the emergency services, prisons, insurance companies, diving companies, specialist interest groups, security companies, staffing agencies, healthcare trusts, construction companies, social services and a host of other stake holders.

We are able to draw on our experience and expertise in Chambers’ other core areas of practice such as health and safety, medical professions regulation, professional discipline and crime, to ensure that clients provide the very highest standard of representation and advice at every stage of proceedings in the Coroner’s Court and in any subsequent proceedings before other tribunals. In addition to our expertise gained in other practice areas, the team draws on the considerable jury experience of many of it’s members, which makes it a first choice for inquests where ECHR Article 2 is engaged.

A number of our members are members of the Attorney General’s Civil Panel of Counsel and specialise in providing representation in inquests to government departments.

The service of our members is complimented by a clerking service with significant experience in this specialist practice area.
