Acacia Project:
In May 2012, the Verum Foundation launched a legal aid project for people in difficult financial situations called “Acacia.”
The condition for participating in the programme is the inability to afford paid legal advisory services due to insufficient income (the Foundation requires a declaration to be submitted in this regard).
The assistance includes free legal advice and free representation in court cases by a legal advisor cooperating with the Foundation.
Those wishing to use the programme are asked to contact the Foundation by email.
