Ethnic Minorities Law Centre

The Ethnic Minorities Law Centre is a community law centre, which provides specialist advice in the law affecting Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities.

As a result of funding from the Scottish Legal Aid Board EMLC is now operating across the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire council areas. The purpose of our service in Aberdeen city and shire is to provide free legal advice and representation to BME communities who are facing difficulties as a result of the economic downturn.

Our service will focus on advice in the areas of employment law, discrimination law and immigration law (where the immigration issues are work related or have arisen as a result of the economic downturn). We are also able to signpost to other agencies who can help with a range of social welfare issues, including housing, debt and benefits.

Clients can obtain advice by contacting our telephone advice line (open Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 10.30am) or by arranging an appointment to see a solicitor face-to-face. Call us on 07880 830 184.
