Maguire Family Law—Ruth Wynn

Manchester team welcomes relationship breakdown specialist

Manchester-based Maguire Family Law, a leading firm specialising in high-net-worth and international family law cases, has expanded its Manchester office team with the appointment of solicitor Ruth Wynn.

Previously part of a Tier One private law firm in Manchester, Ruth brings a wealth of experience in handling complex financial matters and high-net-worth cases within family law. 

Her expertise spans all aspects of relationship breakdowns, including intricate financial settlements, child arrangements, and financial/property disputes arising from cohabitation separations.

In her new role, Ruth will utilise her extensive experience to deliver tailored solutions for clients navigating family law challenges.  

James Maguire, managing director at Maguire Family Law, said: 'I’m incredibly proud of what our team has achieved in the past 12 months, from expanding our footprint to strengthening our expertise. Welcoming Ruth to the team is a fantastic way to kick off 2025 and marks another exciting milestone in our journey of growth and success.

'Ruth’s people-first approach, enthusiasm, and expertise have already made a fantastic impression. I’m confident she will be a tremendous asset to our talented team of highly skilled solicitors, making a real difference in her clients’ lives.'

Commenting on her new role, Ruth Wynn said: 'Joining Maguire Family Law is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a team known for its expertise and client-focused approach. It’s an excellent way to begin the year, and I’m looking forward to building on my experience while helping clients navigate some of life’s most pivotal decisions.

'The firm’s great reputation for handling complex, high-net-worth cases speaks for itself, and I’m eager to contribute to its ongoing success while supporting clients every step of the way.'
