Peter Kirrane from Jordans Solicitors has sadly passed away, the law firm has confirmed.
Peter (pictured) passed away suddenly last week while at home. In an announcement, Jordans described him as an enormous loss to both the law and wider legal community in West Yorkshire.
He joined Jordans in 1996 and became a director of the firm in early 2000. His influence was instrumental in the growth and success of its private client team, which he led with unparalleled dedication and passion. He was a true gentleman, who deeply cared for his family, colleagues, clients, and community.
Christine Sands, managing director of Jordans Solicitors, said: “The loss of Peter has left us all with a void in our hearts. Sukhbeer [Shergill] and I were not only business partners with Peter for over 25 years, but dear friends.
“Many were drawn to the allure of London, but Peter’s firmly rooted sense of belonging led him back to West Yorkshire, demonstrating his tenacious commitment to local communities. We are honoured to have shared countless memories with him throughout his journey. Our thoughts and support are with his family through this devastating time.”
Sukhbeer Shergill, director of Jordans Solicitors, said: “Peter’s spirit, intellect, humour, and wit made him a pillar of Jordans, one which cannot be replaced. Quietly confident and utterly charming, you could not be cross with Peter, even if it was entirely warranted.
“Peter was truly an old soul, one of the good guys in every sense. His timeless values, integrity and demeanour made him a beloved figure in our team. His presence will truly be missed by us all.”
