Tori Sicher, Immigration Solicitor (UK) Expand “Country and expert evidence is indispensable in supporting an asylum seeker's case. Asylos helps me and immigration officials - better understand my client's circumstances.”
Rados Djurovic, Executive Director Asylum Protection Center (Serbia) Expand “Asylos staff was highly professional and responsive. They reacted and responded to our call for support in spite of extremely narrow deadlines, understanding the importance of the ECtHR cases for the concrete individual but also for the EU/European future asylum and human rights legal practice. Your report helped us a lot in order to supply our observations with the appropriate sources. Without your report we would not be able to support some of our arguments in the pleadings. Besides, we couldn’t find local sources in Arabic having in mind that we couldn’t read nor speak Arabic ourselves.”
Noémi Desguin, Lawyer at the Wallonia Bar (Belgium) Expand “I know I can rely on Asylos whenever I am in need of substantive information to support my clients’ claim but lack the resources and time to gather it myself.”
Nimrod Avigal, HIAS (Israel) Expand "I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your project and efforts. It seems like you’re working with the best researchers and experts in the field. This information is invaluable, both thanks to the quotes and references, but also because it explains very well why there is very little information on the subject."
Myriam Thomas, Lawyer at the Paris Bar, Cabinet Thomas (France) Expand "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."
Martin Dannaud, Lawyer at the Paris Bar (France) Expand "Asylos’s work functions as great legal aid, especially because we do not always have the time to do the research that is necessary, so your fact finding is very appreciated and makes the claims credible."
Marie Duhayon, Lawyer at the Paris Bar (France) Expand "Your help is invaluable. You save us a lot of time and work as COI sources are very difficult to find in some cases... I really appreciate the reliability and reactivity of your teams. Your notes are to the point and make the case credible."
Lesley Stalker, Attorney, Vancouver Law Firms (Canada) Expand "I have found the quality of research in each of the Asylos memos I have requested to be excellent. I have shared the memos with other lawyers. I am very grateful to the Asylos team for its meticulous, credible work."

Greta Nonni, Youth Caseworker, South London Refugee Association (UK) Expand "Asylos’s research has been extremely helpful in supporting asylum seekers prove the merits of their claims, in particular with complex cases or where there is no legal aid available... Asylos’s researchers have regional expertise and language skills and are thus in a great position to access information on a range of different cases."
Eleni Velivasaki, Refugee Support Aegean (Greece) Expand "I consistently make use of Asylos' expansive database and have even requested several tailored reports myself.

Asylos takes the work off my hands and gives me invaluable time for meeting with vulnerable clients and preparing briefs."
Céline Verbrouck, Head of the Refugee Law Clinic (Belgium) Expand "As a legal clinic specialised in writing asylum requests for asylum-seekers, Asylos provides our Master students from the Refugee Law Clinic at the Université Libre de Bruxelles with precious and reliable resources"
