Immigration Cases
The immigration team in Southwark Law Centre delivers specialist legal advice and assistance including outreach, telephone and email advice to frontline advice agencies and casework including appeals and judicial review.
We do not have the capacity to take on a large number of cases, but we prioritise complex cases involving children, women who are at risk of violence, and individuals and families facing destitution and homelessness for reasons relating to immigration status.
