Bill Frankel was born and brought up in South Africa and is an alumnus of the University of Cape Town. After obtaining a BA in law in 1964 he went into exile, spent a year reading for the LLB at Sydney University and then arrived in the UK in late 1965. He requalified and was admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court in the UK in June 1970 and in Sept 1970 he was made a partner in a prestigious top City of London law practice where he practiced until his retirement from the law in 2014. 

For over 25 years, Bill was the secret legal consultant to Canon Collins' International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa (IDAF) with prime responsibility for overseeing and secretly channellling funds into Southern Africa to pay for the legal costs of virtually every political trial during the days of apartheid. Appointed OBE by the Queen in her Millenium Honours list for services to human rights, Bill is experienced in issues of human rights, constitutionalism and education. He is a trustee and chair of a number of charities including, inter alia, eponymous UK charities promoted by the Universities of the Witwatersrand, Stellenbosch and Fort Hare and also by the Constitutional Court. He is also Chair of the Claude Leon Foundation which is one of the largest grant giving South African registered charities, focused primarily on education and human​ rights.  

In 2007, Bill was appointed an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa for services to Science education and research. In 2014 the Vice Chancellor of UCT honoured Bill by conferring on him the VC's Silver medal in recognition of his tireless work in the fields of education, human rights and constitutionalism and his ongoing support of many worthy causes through his philanthropy which continues to have a far reaching and profound impact both in South Africa and further afield. 

In 2015, South Africa conferred on Bill the Order of Luthuli Silver Medal describing his excellent services in the liberation struggle against apartheid with particular reference to his secret and central involvement with IDAF.
