Ruth Hetherington is known as a highly experienced Children’s Lawyer, respected by her peers and clients for her expert knowledge. In 2024, she was named Partner of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards. However, she takes instructions in a diverse range of cases, including divorce and financial matters, often relating to company assets, pension and trusts, living arrangements for children, parents wishing to move children to another jurisdiction, and domestic abuse. For child work, she represents parents, grandparents and children in challenging and complex cases which may concern drug and alcohol misuse, complex jurisdiction issues, injuries to children, child abduction, adoption, special guardianship and international matters. As a Resolution member and trained Collaborative Lawyer, Ruth prefers to negotiate and find a constructive solution to disputes, where the welfare of the children is put first. She is also a member of Reunite and the Association of Lawyers for Children.
