Thanks to the excellent location of the Legal Support Centre, in the “Plac Unii” commercial building located near the Ukrainian Embassy and the Office for Foreigners, it is visited by dozens of people every day. We provide them with free advice on:

1)Legalisation of stay in Poland

2)Labour law

3)Family law

4)Social assistance

5)Consultations on starting a business

It is extremely important that the team of advisors is made up of qualified female lawyers from Ukraine who themselves fled the war. They have been trained as part of our project in Polish law and in dealing with people who may be suffering from PTSD.

They look at each case individually and try to find the best possible solution. They help sort out legal issues related to their stay in Poland and encourage professional activation. They advise on what to pay attention to when signing a contract, how to write a CV for a Polish employer and how to nostrify your diploma, or how to start a business. All this is done so that Ukrainian professionals can find a job matching their qualifications as quickly as possible.

The centre is equipped with computers, printers and scanners that visitors can use themselves. As most visitors are women who are alone in Poland with their children, a play area has been set up for their children.

The Legal Center in Warsaw (for Refugees) operates from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at ul. Puławska 2, Plac Unii building (in the part of the shopping mall on the ground floor).
