England - South West • Insurance
Hailed as ‘the top lawyers in the south west for clinical negligence matters’, Enable Law’s clinical negligence practice is active across the firm’s five South West offices and excels at handling high-value, complex cases, including those relating to neonatal death and brain injuries. The firm has further cemented its status as one of the go-to claimant-side clinical negligence firms with the acquisition of Ince & Co‘s practice group in April 2023, with Gillian Clark and managing associate Frances Wright among the additions to the team. Robert Antrobus leads the team and is experienced in a broad range of negligence claims, including meningitis and orthopaedic injury matters. Specialising in representing adults with serious injuries, Paul Sankey is another key name to note, and ’fantastic negotiator’ Mike Bird regularly acts on behalf of children in brain injury cases.
