Ruth's Experience

Professional Background
I am a former City of London solicitor originally specialising in corporate finance and hedge funds. I have since spent more than 20 years combining in-house counsel and operational roles leading companies, venture collaborations and non-profit organisations, with particular experience in Cambridge’s technology and engineering sector. That combination gives me a practical understanding of legal risk and the realities of running organisations, alongside an engineering problem-solving approach.
Areas of Expertise
  • Commercial and financial disputes
  • Technology and engineering disputes
  • Contract and supply-chain disputes
  • Intellectual property conflicts 
  • Shareholder, founder and funder disputes
  • Family-owned businesses and closely held companies 
  • Professional partnerships
  • Corporate governance and regulatory interpretation disputes

Mediation Style
I provide a calm, structured and inclusive setting in which parties can speak candidly and examine the issues beneath their stated positions. I am pragmatic and commercially minded, while recognising that disputes involving family businesses, founders or professional partnerships can carry a significant personal history as well as a financial dimension. My aim is not to impose a compromise, but to help the people involved find a clear way through the impasse and develop an outcome they can implement.
Membership & Advisory Positions
  • Civil Mediation Council Non-practising solicitor
