Jane Pearce

What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?

Our ability to operate without interruption despite the challenges presented by the pandemic required ingenuity and a willingness to adapt, and showed a genuine commitment to care for our employees, clients and the wider community.

How did you get into private client?

People, families, relationships and a caring nature attracted me to private client work.

What advice would you give rising stars/new lawyers in the private client world?

You can have it all―a career, a life and parenthood―but not all at the same time. At different times you need to prioritise different things.

Do you have any outside interests or hobbies?

At the moment I would just love to go out with friends for dinner; it has been too long!

When the restaurants reopen, where would you like to go?

Murano’s. It is fabulous and where we held our daughter’s 21st.
