Corporate Set Up
The AsyLex Board
The AsyLex Board
The following people are member of the AsyLex Board:
Lea Hungerbühler (president and founder)
Nathalie Vainio (vice president)
Emirhan Darcan (translation)
Thomas Hugi Yar (external advisor)
Daniel Gmür (social support)
Mei Yi Lew (legal)
Julie Frei (detention)
Jessica Gauch (external advisor)
Adrian Zwicker (IT)
David Wicki (fundraising)
Aresu Rabbani (translation)

The members of the board are elected by the general assembly of the AsyLex members. All volunteers are AsyLex members and can therefore vote at the general assembly which takes place in the first quarter of each year.
Additionally, we have the AsyLex Advisory Council with asylum law experts who support us in particularly complex cases. The members of the AsyLex Committee support our mission towards the public but are not involved in our cases at all. You can find all members here.

Financials & Donations
In the annual reports above you can see that AsyLex has a very small budget. We, therefore, depend on donations. Do you know someone who might be willing to support AsyLex financially? Please reach out to them and refer them to our Donation Page.
Generally, we are financed with reimbursements by courts, support by foundations and corporates, private donations, payments for services (e.g. workshops, presentations we hold or appeals we write).
