About

Suzanne Tucker joined EY Ireland in 2003 and has been working there as general counsel since, adding responsibilities for the firm’s risk management function since January 2016. She was the first solicitor appointed to EY’s business in Ireland and has single-handedly crafted a strong and efficient legal department, which is now a core support function to the business. Highlights for Tucker over the past decade include situations where as a result of careful and determined management of very fraught legal cases, the best possible outcome has been achieved. Tucker is also known for navigating EY through the turbulent times of the 2008 recession, where her team encountered increased regulation, particularly in the provision of audit services. ‘These challenges have been overcome by determination, education as to the issues, relationships both internal and external and attention to the firm’s core business’, she says. Following her qualification in 1992, Tucker spent the first three years of her career working as a commercial and property lawyer in CIE. She then spent four years as an in-house counsel at Irish Life & Permanent, followed by a four year period at ICS Building Society. ‘Value your skills, have confidence in the advice you provide, be commercial but not overly’, Tucker advises her peers.
