Charity seeks Spanish-speaking lawyers for advice help

A charity providing legal and welfare advice to Spanish speakers in Edinburgh is appealing for Spanish-speaking Scots lawyers to join its advice service.

Oficina Precaria Scotland – "Think of us like a mini-Citizens Advice Bureau but in Spanish" – is looking for solicitors and advocates who speak Spanish and might be interested in joining its referrals list.

"We are creating a referrals list because we only provide advice, not representation", the organisation says. "On the rare occasion when people do need representation, it would be useful to know of any Spanish-speaking lawyers who would be happy to be contacted. Our work centres mainly around employment, family, consumer and immigration law."

They would be happy to meet over Zoom with those who would like to know more about their work. They can be contacted at administration@piescotland.org
