Immigration cases

Immigration Advice

Southwark and Lewisham Law Centre’s immigration teams deliver specialist legal advice and assistance including telephone and email advice for frontline advice agencies and casework including appeals and judicial review.   

We prioritise cases for vulnerable people such as children, young people, people at risk of gender violence, people with mental health problem, and individuals and families facing destitution and homelessness for reasons relating to immigration status. Many of the cases we take on involve breaches of human rights and we aim to use the law strategically.

We are only able to take a small number of cases by referral from other agencies.

Unfortunately we cannot take cases directly from the public.

If you are an organisation looking for advice for your client, or to make a referral you may call us on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday10-1 and 2-5.30pm.
