From 4 to 9 October 2026, the international legal community gathered in Copenhagen for this year’s IBA Annual Conference. For Dr. Oliver Pragal, the conference week was once again a special highlight, not least in his role as an Officer of the Criminal Law Committee of the International Bar Association – packed with expert discussions, high-calibre panels and valuable networking with colleagues from around the world, some of whom have long since become friends.
Expert exchange in white-collar criminal law
In day-to-day advisory practice, international white-collar criminal proceedings and cross-border investigations remain highly demanding.
This makes the IBA all the more important as a global platform that brings together leading experts to discuss current practical issues and further deepen international cooperation in the Criminal Law Sessions. Dr. Oliver Pragal has regularly attended IBA conferences in previous years as well, for example the IBA Annual Conference 2024 in Mexico City.
A successful evening reception at Hotel Sanders
Alongside the specialist sessions, the conference week once again thrived on personal encounters. A particular highlight was the joint reception hosted by Pragal Rechtsanwälte and its Hamburg partner firm Esche Schümann Commichau.
Together with Carolin Linusson-Brandt, Jan Kind and Dr. Philipp Engelhoven, Dr. Oliver Pragal welcomed numerous international IBA delegates to Hotel Sanders in Copenhagen on 8 October. In a relaxed atmosphere, the reception provided the ideal setting for in-depth conversations and for cultivating international contacts.
