Hammersmith & Fulham Law Centre

Hammersmith & Fulham Law Centre was founded in 1979 by a steering group of local advice agencies, charities, council officers and community groups. It responded to a strong need for legal advice, specialist casework and legal representation. It is still responding and meeting the needs of local residents and community groups to this day. The management committee of the Law Centre is made up of persons nominated by the local authority, named partner advice agencies and community organisations, and persons (generally former service users) elected at the annual general meeting to represent specified groups of clients such as black and ethnic minorities, claimants, tenants, employees. We have a flourishing management committee and considerable local interest in and support for the Law Centre. The Law Centre works closely with its partner advice agencies that form the backbone of the Hammersmith & Fulham Advice Forum.
