Fife Law Centre has opened a new office in the Adam Smith College in Leven. The move is an effort to increase public awareness of the services provided in other parts of Fife.

The official launch event took place at the College on 11 March 2010. The opening was followed by a seminar held on the topic of “Women’s Rights and the Law”.

Principal Solicitor, Afshan Rathore is quoted in Fife Today explaining that a presence in Levenmouth gives the centre another area to explore and offer help to people in need, with most of their calls concerning mortgage repossessions and employment cases.

She said: “There is a credit crunch and, whether we are in recovery or not, a lot of people are still affected by it – that’s the reality”.
