"Asylos has a reputation, which is proof of its credibility. Judges ask for Asylos’s reports copies and I always share it with them... Asylos is the perfect match between the mastery of a language and the understanding of law... Your researchers understand what I am talking about, they understand law, especially refugee law and the concept of jurisdiction. For lawyers, this is a blessing."
