Prakken d'Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers

On January 1st 2014, the law firm Böhler changed its name to Prakken d'Oliveira. The change represents growth that we've experienced and would like to continue. Ties Prakken and Ulli Jessurun d'Oliveira are the memory and the conscience of our firm.

Although it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date, Prakken d'Oliveira has its origins in the late eighties, when part of an Amsterdam legal collective merged with lawyers from various universities, including Ties Prakken (criminal law and human rights) and Ulli Jessurun d'Oliveira (international law and immigration law). Our firm's academic ties have only strengthened since then. Many of the lawyers at Prakken d'Oliveira have their roots in top universities.

Our link with the academic world hasn't led to an overly theoretical approach; on the contrary, it's helped us define the field of law based on real-world experience. Particularly in the area of human rights, we've conducted groundbreaking procedures.
