About Expert Country Reports
Authoritative country evidence for UK asylum proceedings
Our Mission
Expert Country Reports is a UK immigration and asylum expert witness firm providing independent country condition reports and expert witness testimony exclusively for asylum and immigration proceedings before the First-tier Tribunal, Upper Tribunal, and UK courts.
We exist to ensure that every asylum and immigration case before UK tribunals and courts is decided on the best available country evidence. The quality of country evidence should not depend on the resources of the instructing party.
We are committed to accessibility as well as rigour — making tribunal-standard country condition reports available to immigration lawyers, NGOs, government bodies, and individuals who need independent, accurate country evidence for their cases.
Our Values
Accuracy
Country conditions change. Outdated or inaccurate country evidence can be worse than no evidence at all. Every report is grounded in current, primary-source knowledge.
Independence
Expert evidence must be independent of the instructing party's preferred outcome. Our experts report to the tribunal, not to the lawyer who instructed them.
Accessibility
Country condition expert evidence must be available to lawyers, NGOs, and individuals — not only to well-resourced appellants.
Sensitivity
Behind every asylum case is a person. Reports are written with awareness of the human stakes of the proceedings.
UK Coverage
We provide country condition reports and expert witness testimony for proceedings across the United Kingdom — including the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), High Court judicial review, and Court of Appeal immigration matters.
