About Asylum Experts

A specialist immigration and asylum expert witness firm, built around SLAB-funded casework and tribunal proceedings in Scotland.

Mission

Our mission

Asylum Experts was established to serve the legal aid asylum community, ensuring that SLAB-funded solicitors, NGOs, and asylum seekers in Scotland have access to the same quality of expert evidence available to private clients.

We are an independent expert witness firm. Our opinions are formed on the basis of country knowledge, professional expertise, and the specific facts of each case, not on the outcome sought by any party.
