As of 1 May, Foot Anstey's medical negligence practice will become a separate business entity known as Enable Law, within the Foot Anstey Group.

Enable Law is the result of strategic rebrand to provide greater clarity for clients and support with growing this part of Foot Anstey's business. As well as the new name and visual identity, Enable Law's launch is also supported through a contemporary digital presence, including a new website.

Rob Antrobus, Head of Enable Law, said: "We are really proud of our new identity with Enable Law – this project, which has been developed over time with input from our clients, employees, and partner organisations, is much more reflective of the work that we do and will help us reach more people who may not have been aware they could access support."

John Westwell, Managing Partner of Foot Anstey, said: "Making Enable Law a separate business entity provides greater clarity between the firm's work for businesses and individuals. Foot Anstey's focus is on continued delivery of our strategy to provide a client-centric service for our regional, national and international clients, particularly in our core sectors."

Enable Law will represent the largest medical negligence practice in the South West and the new branding and digital presence will provide the new entity with the platform for further growth
