We provide specialist legal advice for people who cannot afford to pay for this in the areas of Discrimination, Employment, Housing, Planning, Welfare rights, and Immigration/Asylum law.

Our main office is based in Southwark and we have a second office Lewisham Law Centre

We try and help people needing specialist legal advice who have been referred to us by partner agencies, such as generalist advice agencies, hospitals, social workers, MPs and local councillors.

We do not provide drop in advice. We see people by pre-arranged appointment.

If you are a member of the public needing advice, please contact your local Citizens Advice Service www.citizensadvice.org.uk
