As you all know, Valerie Peart and Gerard Wade have been directing operations at Pearts Solicitors and Town Agents for the past twenty-two and a half years when they took over from Valerie’s brother, Michael Peart.

A family business since 1883, it has always been important to Gerard and Valerie that such a status would continue. As Gerard embraces his new phase, indeed, his 3^rd Act, (as some would call it) as a Retiree, the time has come for the next generation to step up and take the reins of the Town Agency business. Valerie, however, remains as Principal of Pearts Solicitors.

To facilitate Gerard’s retirement, James Clarke and Niamh Wade are now Directors of Pearts Town Agents Limited and as such, secure the family business going forward.

James came into Pearts twenty years ago as an eager Transition Year student looking to learn about life working in the law over the course of a week. Little did he, or we, know then that he would one day take to the helm as Managing Director alongside Niamh, his now Sister-in-Law. Married to the youngest daughter of Valerie and Gerard, James returned to his TY roots in 2022 when the opportunity arose to take over as Office Manager. With a degree in Business and Law from UCD, a Masters in Project Management from UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School and over 10 years working in Professional Services and Project Management including time spent with IBM, First Data Fiserv and EY, James is no stranger to busy businesses. On taking over the steer, James says, Keep reading →
