Guiding Business Owners Through the Deal

Ruth heads Danna McKitrick’s transactional group and advises entrepreneurs and businesses ranging from family-owned startups to multinational corporations. Her clients turn to her for corporate governance, employment, intellectual property, digital law and cybersecurity matters, and for help structuring their businesses before and after a transaction.

Ruth has practiced for more than 40 years. She has said that her father’s work as a carpenter first sparked her interest in labor and employment law.

As firm president, Ruth mentors attorneys at every level and sets the tone for how Danna McKitrick works with clients: practical, clear and focused on keeping problems from developing in the first place.

“Ruth has spent decades helping business owners through the biggest transactions of their lives, and she has led this firm with the same steady judgment the whole way,” said Ron Danna, principal attorney at Danna McKitrick, P.C. “Clients trust her because she gets the deal done and then helps them avoid the problems that come after. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.”

Ruth’s recognition comes alongside that of attorney Mike McKitrick who was named a top finalist in the Mergers & Acquisitions category of St. Louis Small Business Monthly’s 2026 Best in Business Awards. Together, the two honors point to the depth of Danna McKitrick’s experience in mergers and acquisitions.
