About Aykut Elseven

Aykut Elseven is a managing partner and founding member of Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte, a German law firm with a strong international orientation. Trained in Bonn and practising since the mid-2010s, he has built a practice focused on business immigration, international mobility, citizenship-related matters and cross-border cases involving enforcement or extradition risks.

Business Immigration Expertise & Specialisms

Elseven works closely with SE Legal’s dedicated Business Immigration team, which advises employers, start-ups, investors and individual clients on work and residence routes into Germany. The firm’s work covers EU Blue Card applications and national skilled work permits, residence permits for self-employment and investor entry, intra-company transfer pathways, family reunification and long-term settlement planning. Particular emphasis is placed on international employers, technology companies, start-ups, entrepreneurs and investors, where evidence of economic interest, professional qualifications or commercial viability is often decisive.

Cross-Border Mobility Risks, Interpol and Enforcement Matters

A further distinguishing feature of Elseven’s practice is his experience in matters where immigration, mobility and cross-border enforcement risks intersect. This includes cases involving Interpol Red Notice issues, deletion or rectification procedures before the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF), and urgent legal remedies where a client’s freedom of movement is at risk. This capability is particularly relevant for international clients whose travel, residence or business mobility may be affected by third-country criminal-law allegations, extradition requests or enforcement measures.

Business Immigration Law & The Legal Landscape In Germany

Business Immigration law in Germany operates at the confluence of federal residence law, EU directives and administrative practice, which can vary significantly between local immigration authorities. Recent reforms to Germany’s skilled immigration framework have expanded routes for qualified third-country nationals and continue to shape how employers recruit talent from abroad. While the legal framework offers more options, procedural complexity remains, making specialist guidance essential.

Key Challenges For Employers & Individuals

Employers face practical challenges when hiring from outside the EU, including labour-market checks where applicable, employment contracts that meet residence permit requirements, and the documentation or recognition of foreign qualifications. For entrepreneurs and investors, proving the economic viability of a business plan and navigating regional administrative practices can determine both timing and outcome. These matters require coordinated legal, HR and commercial input.

How Elseven Advises Businesses & Individuals

In corporate matters, Elseven and the SE Legal team develop immigration strategies aligned with recruitment plans, applicable labour-market requirements and employment contract terms, enabling employers to hire from abroad while reducing compliance exposure.

For investors and entrepreneurs, the team prepares business-case documentation, investor-related filings and regulatory submissions needed to meet the evidentiary requirements for self-employment or investor residence permits.

Practical Advice For Prospective Clients

If your organisation plans to recruit from outside the EU, begin the immigration assessment early and involve specialists who understand both the statutory route and local administrative practice. Employers should be prepared to show how a role fits national or EU categories, such as the EU Blue Card or skilled worker routes, and to adapt employment contracts accordingly. Entrepreneurs and investors considering Germany should focus on a credible business plan and evidence of economic interest; commercial projections, market analyses and local partnerships may influence the assessment. Where an Interpol notice, extradition risk or other enforcement-related restriction exists, immediate legal advice should be sought before travel.
