Currently, Motley continues to advance cutting-edge litigation as lead counsel for more than 6,500 family members and survivors of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, designed to bankrupt terrorism and seek justice against al Qaeda's financiers. He is also focused on tainted tissue litigation efforts, serving as co-lead on the tainted tissue MDL and leading Motley Rice's team that represents victims of an alleged body harvesting scheme.

David Shrager was an accomplished trial lawyer specializing in complex civil litigation. Throughout his life, he worked to protect the rights of injured victims, representing consumers, healthcare workers and individuals, earning the reputation of ?a lawyer who always tried to help people.? A former President of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (now the American Association for Justice), Shrager also served as chair of several of the association's committees. He is also a founding member of Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. AAJ established the David S. Shrager President's Award in 2006 in honor of Shrager's lifelong dedication to the legal profession.

Le Boeuf, Lamb, Greene & McRae, L.L.P.

LeBoeuf Lamb Advises Kazakhstan Advertising Company on Sale of Share Stake to Leading European Company
"LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae LLP has advised RTS Perekrestok JSC, a leading Kazakhstan street billboard advertising company, on the sale of 50% of its shares to JCDecaux SA, a leading European advertising company. LeBoeuf Lamb advised on all aspects of the transaction, including sale purchase and shareholders' agreements, corporate issues and regulatory approvals. Founded in 1998, RTS Perekrestok JSC owns advertising space in bus stations, mostly in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, as well as in Astana, the national capital, and in other regional cities.

JCDecaux SA, a French company, ranks first in Europe and second in the world in the outdoor advertising business. JCDecaux's activities cover large format, transport, and on-street advertising. Acquisition of 50% of RTS Perekrestok's shares has enabled JCDecaux SA to enter the Kazakhstan advertising market and expand its overseas activities.

The new company, RTS Decaux, is jointly owned by Kazakhstan nationals and JCDecaux SA. Current shareholders of RTS Decaux intend to make the company a leading outdoor advertising company in Kazakhstan providing high-quality services to its customers. RTS's knowledge of the local environment together with the expertise and experience of the French company will benefit the further development of RTS Decaux. The acquisition, completed in May-June 2007, became the first transaction in Kazakhstan, which attracted considerable investments in the outdoor advertising business.

The LeBoeuf Lamb team consisted of Aset Shyngyssov (counsel/managing attorney, Almaty) and Asem Bakenova (associate, Almaty). "
