Every year, with our lecture series, we offer free access to information on asylum and residence law and at the same time train new legal advisors for the RLC Berlin. We could never implement this concept without our great lecturers, who give a comprehensive lecture every year that is always oriented towards the latest topics in the field of asylum and residence law.
Our lecturers in recent years include, among others:
Johannes Eichenhofer
Volker Gerloff
Johanna Mantel
Christoph Tometten
Barbara Wessel

Thank you for your support!

Legal supervision
Due to the legal advice we offer, there is an obligation for our advisors to be regularly supervised. Our supervision is overseen by qualified lawyers who are themselves active in asylum and residence law. We also use the supervision to ensure that our advisors remain up to date in the legal developments in order to be able to ensure the quality of the advice, among other things. Apart from the regular appointments, our advisors can email our supervisors at any time to obtain an expert opinion on urgent questions. We therefore appreciate the great support provided by our supervisors.
