Andrew Tucker: a 'hugely respected’ leader

Tucker joined Irwin Mitchell in 1985 and became a partner in 1988, rising to become group CEO in April 2014. He was a former chief executive of the firm’s personal legal services division and also headed its personal injury department, ’working on many high-profile and ground-breaking cases’. 

Glyn Barker, chair of the Irwin Mitchell Group, said: 'Andrew’s many strengths, including intellect, commerciality and integrity, have ensured that Irwin Mitchell has grown and prospered under his leadership. His legacy is a robust business with a strong culture and widely admired reputation. 

'As well as being a hugely respected leader, Andrew was a much-loved colleague, always with the best interests of colleagues and clients at the forefront of his thinking, and we will miss him hugely. 

'We’re working to support Andrew’s family at this very sad and difficult time and request that their privacy is respected.’
