VP Becomes JVP

50 years working in Pearts and recently appointed as Junior Vice President of the Law Society of Ireland, 2024 is certainly a landmark year for our Principal, Valerie Peart.

While never one to hog the limelight, as Valerie just gets on with it, we feel it’s only appropriate to congratulate her on this incredible achievement.

From her college days working with her Father, Denis, to assisting the business during her brother, Michael’s time at the helm, (while also running her busy private practice and rearing four children), to her full time takeover in 2002 with her husband Gerard Wade, Valerie has certainly not been idle.

The decision to run for election to the Law Society Council in 2009, as she says herself, “was possibly one of the best decisions of my professional life.

We asked Valerie how she felt about her latest appointment:

I am totally honoured!

I look forward to working with our President, Eamonn Harrington and Senior Vice President, Rosemarie Loftus and the amazing team at The Law Society, under the stewardship of Mark Garrett, the Director General.

As Junior Vice President, I am committed to serving the Society in any way I can and I look forward to a productive and busy year.”
