‘Enable's strength in depth separates it from all but a few competitors. They are certainly one of the key players in the PI market. They have a habit of taking on cases that other firms wouldn't, taking a risk for their clients and making it pay off through their talent and hard work.’
‘The team at Enable Law comprises a highly-skilled group of lawyers with high-level expertise coupled with a client-centred, empathetic approach to claims for injury and clinical negligence. Due to the specialisms within the team, they have a breadth that enables support for any type of injury and incident circumstances and where needed, a team can be created to provide the very best help for early resolution.’
‘Pamela-Jane Riley has been impressive in her knowledge of working with complex brain injury clients and has extensive knowledge of how to deliver legal information in an accessible manner. In my experience she has gone above and beyond, and has made an extremely positive impact on not only the litigation of this case, but also her input into the multidisciplinary team offering her wealth of knowledge to support treatment sessions and navigation of a complex client's needs.’
‘Sue Upton and Huw Ponting dealt with my claim. From day one of them being instructed I was met with great personal courtesy and respect which made me feel very secure that I mattered to them as a person and not as simply just a job for them to complete. They were both always directly at hand if I had a query, no matter how little of a query it may have been, which was fantastic at such a confusing time of doubt for me. They both worked so meticulously hard to gain the best possible settlement for me.’
‘A depth of knowledge of the legal and medical issues arising in maximum injury claims. An ability to gain the confidence of clients by reason of a calm and clear explanation of how their claim is going to be handled, regular communications with clients to inform them of the progress of their claim and any difficulties raised.'
'This PI team is led by the able and experienced Huw Ponting, who knows more about serious injury and head injury victims than any other solicitor practising in this field. The solicitors in his team provide him with full-on support and enthusiasm for the task. All have great client-handling skills and each client is kept fully informed on the issues in their case and the progress of their claim.'
‘The team has excellent strength in depth in all matters of personal injury, with a particular focus on catastrophic personal injury work. They work collaboratively with counsel and achieve excellent results for their clients.’
‘Huw Ponting and Katherine Moyse are a force to be reckoned with in the field of catastrophic personal injury. They are thoroughly committed to their clients, well prepared and a joy to work with.’
