Work and Clients

Ruth is a Chartered Legal Executive specialising in all aspects of family law and also a Family Mediator. Ruth has a pragmatic no nonsense approach and always strives to do her best for all her clients.

“Divorce can feel overwhelming, but it is also an opportunity for growth and renewal. As a family lawyer, I help clients navigate this challenging transition with compassion and support. I have seen first hand how people—often feeling broken and afraid—can reclaim their confidence, independence, and sense of self. Watching my clients emerge stronger and ready to thrive is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.”

Route to PCB

Ruth qualified as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives in 2002 and has been practising as a Family Mediator since 2012. Ruth joined PCB Solicitors in 2017 as head of the Family Department based at the firm’s head office in Shrewsbury and made partner late 2020.

In August 2025, Ruth stepped away from being Head of Department but remains a Partner and senior member of the Family team.

"Ruth Harris and her team, especially Hannah Dilks, provided excellent professional advice and service, over a protracted divorce settlement, enabling financial closure with a fair outcome for both parties. I would recommend both Ruth and PCB to anyone in the future requiring legal help and advice. Many thanks again to all."

"I dealt with Ruth Harris throughout and she was excellent. I found that I could trust her completely for help, guidance, advise and even a friendly ear. She made a very difficult process more bearable and I cannot thank her enough."

"I needed some help advice from a solicitor. I called PCB who were very efficient and friendly on the phone. Staff assured me that a solicitor would be in touch. Almost immediately I was contacted by Ruth and given very good sound advice. Ruth was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I was given the advice over the phone and then in writing via an email. Ruth provided me with her direct contact number and email address which made a huge difference to me. It allowed me to get instant answers. But the most important point I want to make is that all the staff were very friendly and approachable and the biggest point is that they and Ruth have spoken in a plane and easy manner rather than the usual way where none of the advise makes any sense. I would most definitely use PCB again. Can’t fault their service and approach."
