Surin Ersöz

SERS Immigration Law Firm Germany, a Berlin practice founded and led by Surin Ersöz, has been named Immigration Law Firm of the Year in Germany at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. As founder, chief executive and practising immigration lawyer, Mr Ersöz has built the firm into a dedicated source of counsel for individuals and families navigating the German immigration system.

The firm concentrates exclusively on immigration matters, an area of law in which procedure, timing and documentation can be as decisive as the underlying legal entitlement. Its work spans short-stay visa applications and processing, the acquisition and renewal of residence permits, representation in asylum proceedings, and citizenship and naturalisation matters. Together these cover the principal routes by which people enter, remain in and ultimately settle in Germany.

Immigration law sits at the intersection of an individual's personal circumstances and a demanding administrative framework. Applicants must satisfy exacting requirements, meet deadlines and engage with authorities whose decisions can profoundly affect their lives and livelihoods. By focusing solely on this field, SERS is able to guide clients through each stage with a clear understanding of the applicable rules and of how the relevant authorities apply them in practice.

Operating from Berlin, the firm serves clients who are managing the requirements of German immigration procedure, whether they are arriving for the first time, seeking to extend or change their status, pursuing protection, or working towards long-term residence and citizenship. Mr Ersöz's dual role as founder and hands-on practitioner means that clients deal with a lawyer who is personally invested in the firm's standards and in the outcome of their cases.

The strength of a specialist immigration practice lies in its ability to match each client's situation to the right legal pathway and to prepare applications that stand up to scrutiny. Missteps in immigration matters can lead to refusals, delays or the loss of valuable rights, and careful, knowledgeable preparation is therefore essential. SERS positions itself as exactly that kind of adviser: focused, accessible and attuned to the particular pressures its clients face.

Germany's continuing importance as a destination for professionals, students, families and those seeking protection has made competent immigration counsel more valuable than ever. Against that backdrop, the recognition of SERS as Immigration Law Firm of the Year in Germany reflects both the firm's specialist focus and the personal commitment of its founder to serving those who turn to it.

For individuals and families seeking to secure their position in Germany — from a first short-stay visa through to naturalisation — SERS Immigration Law Firm Germany offers dedicated, practice-focused guidance under the direct leadership of Surin Ersöz, an adviser who has made German immigration law the whole of his professional purpose.
