Tributes paid after sudden death of head of litigation at Government Legal Department

Tributes have been paid to Stephen Amos, Director of Litigation at the Government Legal Department, who has died this week.

Jonathan Jones, Permanent Secretary at the GLD, tweeted yesterday: “Desperately sad at the sudden death of our wonderful colleague Stephen Amos (GLD’s head of litigation).

“Great lawyer, colleague and friend, all-round lovely person. Impossible to do justice on twitter but I feel there are many who would wish to know.”

Prior to the GLD, Amos held a range of roles at government departments including the Cabinet Office, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and the Health & Safety Executive.

A tribute from Professor Richard Moorhead, a friend of Mr Amos, can be viewed here.
