ELIL aims to ensure that every person in Greece who is seeking international protection is able to receive initial legal assistance, at no cost, from an independent European lawyer with experience in asylum law. We provide support in relation to the first instance asylum interview and/or family reunification applications under the Dublin Regulation, as well as tailored legal assistance to unaccompanied children.
