Irwin Mitchell’s longstanding head John Pickering has pointed to changes in the legal sector for his decision to step down as group chief executive (CEO), as he prepares to leave the firm and the former CEO of the firm’s personal legal services (PLS) division Andrew Tucker steps into the lead role.
Pickering (pictured) will leave Irwin Mitchell after a transitional period of a few weeks, the firm said today (2 April), with plans to pursue non-executive director positions elsewhere, as Tucker stepped into the role on Monday (31 March).
