| Introduction | Referral conditions |
| Fife Law Centre is a registered charity which aims to improve access to justice and legal advice in the local Fife community for those who either have difficulty accessing legal services or who cannot afford other forms of legal representation. The Law Centre opened on 4 November 2009 and is headed by Afshan Rathore, its Principal Solicitor. It currently has offices at BRAG in Crosshill near Lochgelly (open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm) and at the Adam Smith College ‘Our Space’ Centre in Leven (availability 11am – 3.30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays). The Centre has links with various local voluntary organisations such as Frontline Fife and Citizens Advice and Rights Fife (CARF) and our solicitors can travel to see potential clients at a variety of locations throughout Fife. The current core areas of the Law Centre’s work include:- • Employment Law • Housing Law • Child Law issues We can also offer general legal advice in other areas however, if an issue is out with the remit of the Law Centre’s work (e.g. criminal law, divorce, conveyancing, wills and executries) or is a matter which requires more specialist advice, we will endeavour to refer the enquirer to another law firm or relevant organisation for further assistance (as appropriate). The Law Centre also anticipates holding a series of legal seminars throughout the year for both local law firms and voluntary organisations and separately can provide more specialised advice/presentations to individual organisations on request. |
