Enable Law 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.
Rukhsana joins Enable Law’s Bristol team from Gloucester-headquartered Langley Wellington Solicitors where, as a partner, she successfully headed up the firm’s Education Lawyers team.
She specialises in Special Educational Needs (SEN) law and 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.
Commenting on her appointment, Rukhsana, who will cover the South West from her Gloucester base and Enable Law’s Bristol office, 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 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.”
Enable Law partner Sarah Palmer, who leads the firm’s education team, 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.”
Rukhsana qualified as a solicitor in 1997 and has since built a reputation as a trusted adviser in education law.
She is passionate about community engagement and enjoys mentoring aspiring legal professionals.
Fluent in Urdu and Punjabi, she is committed to making legal services accessible to a diverse clientele.
She has also been a speaker at conferences and delivered training sessions and webinars sharing her expertise with parents, educators and other professionals.
Rukhsana’s appointment means the Enable Law education team now boasts five specialist lawyers who concentrate on SEN work and signals the firm’s overall commitment to further investing in growth.
The move represents a significant boost for the firm as it builds one of the South of England’s legal sector’s strongest special education teams.
Recent additions include Dominic Shard, an Education Specialist with previous professional experience in the NHS.
It follows Enable Law’s continued recognition in the 2025 Legal 500 UK rankings, and retention of the firm’s Band 1 rankings at Chambers and Partners for another year.
