With almost 60 years of combined professional experience, Dr. Oliver Pragal, LL.M. (Cape Town) and Wolfgang Prinzenberg not only possess in-depth expertise, but also have an extensive, worldwide network of excellent lawyers in all important jurisdictions at their disposal.

Both partners are united by many years of specialisation in the field of (commercial) criminal law, passion for their profession and a shared understanding of the fundamental values involved in its practice.
