Hackney Community Law Centre was founded in the 1970’s. We are a community-based law service that promotes access to legal rights and equality of opportunity.

We are a charity employing solicitors and paralegals to provide free and independent legal advice and representation to people living, working or studying in the London Borough of Hackney and neighbouring boroughs.

HCLC provides legal advice and representation which works towards the relief of poverty, discrimination and injustice by providing legal advice and assistance to low paid and unemployed persons on legal matters in the following areas of law: debt, employment, housing, immigration and welfare benefits.

Our time is spent on providing legal casework in complex cases this often involves tribunal or court proceedings. We represent on a regular basis in the county court with housing cases and at tribunal hearings with social security and immigration cases

We also aim to highlight injustice that we find in individual cases to bring about social change by challenging local and national government.

HCLC is supported by:
