Law firm boosts education team with specialist appointment
Enable Law, the specialist mental capacity, personal injury and medical negligence law firm, has strengthened its team with the appointment of education law expert Rukhsana Koser as a legal director.
Koser joins Enable Law’s Bristol office from Gloucester-headquartered Langley Wellington Solicitors where, as a partner, she headed up its specialist education lawyers team.
With an emphasis on Special Educational Needs (SEN) law, she also has a distinguished and successful record in Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) tribunal proceedings.
Her expertise includes advising on education, health, and care plans, as well as handling complex appeals to the SEND tribunal involving education, health and social care needs and provision for children and young people with significant needs, disability discrimination in school and safeguarding within the education sector.
Koser, who will be based at Enable Law’s Bristol city centre office and will focus on the South West, said: “I’m really excited to be joining Enable Law because it is committed to stepping up support for children and young people with special education needs.
“Supporting children and young people with special education needs is something that is very close to my heart and it’s great to know my Enable Law colleagues share my passion and determination to secure the right outcome for families who turn to us for educational, health and social care support for their children.”
The move represents a significant boost for the firm as it builds one of the South of England legal sector’s strongest special education teams.
Partner Sarah Palmer who leads the firm’s education team from its Southampton office, added: “At Enable Law, we are driven on by the overriding goal of supporting families to secure the right education provision to meet the educational potential of their children.
“That is why we are really thrilled to have attracted Rukhsana to Enable Law because she is one of the most high-calibre education specialists in the business and this will maintain our momentum as a law firm.
“Rukhsana’s talent and experience will strengthen our depth of legal expertise at Enable Law. It’s great news for our clients as we are better equipped than ever to rise to every special education challenge.”
