Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C.

Paul Seiler participates in the Second International Colloquium on Secured Transactions hosted by UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law) in Vienna, Austria on January 18-19, 2007
"Paul F. Seiler, a shareholder in the firm's Reorganization/Corporate Finance practice group, participated in the Second International Colloquium on Secured Transactions held in Vienna, Austria, on January 18-19, 2007. The Colloquium, attended by approximately 120 law professors, lawyers and business people from all over the world, was called for the express purpose of discussing security interests in intellectual property rights in connection with the draft Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions distributed to members of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) in July 2006. Mr. Seiler's presentation at the Colloquium addressed the topic of trade secrets and other non-traditional types of intellectual property as collateral (in contrast to copyrights, patents and trademarks as collateral). His presentation was preceded by papers on trademarks, patents and copyrights as collateral, the creation of security interests in those types of property, the priority and effect of securing interests on third parties and enforcement remedies. Mr. Seiler focused on the attributes of a legal regime that would enable lenders to extend credit on the basis of such property rights, including: (i) the need for clarity and certainty of results, (ii) ease of use, and (iii) general applicability.

In conjunction with his presentation, Mr. Seiler submitted a paper co-authored with Jeff Dunn, also a shareholder in the firm's Reorganization/Corporate Finance practice group, titled ""Trade Secrets and Non-Traditional Categories of Intellectual Property as Collateral,"" which addresses the challenges associated with clarifying the legal requirements to perfect a security interest in such intellectual property rights.

UNCITRAL was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966 to address the disparities in national laws governing international trade that create obstacles to the flow of trade, positioning the Commission as the vehicle by which the United Nations could play a more active role in reducing or removing these obstacles. The General Assembly gave the Commission the general mandate to further the progressive harmonization and unification of the law of international trade. The Commission has since come to be the core legal body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law. The Commission is composed of sixty member States elected by the General Assembly. Membership is structured so as to be representative of the world's various geographic regions and its principal economic and legal systems."

Moser & Marsalek, P.C.

Thomas J. Magee admitted to American College of Trial Lawyers
"Thomas J. Magee has become a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in America.

The induction ceremony at which Thomas J. Magee became a Fellow took place recently before an audience of 810 persons during the recent 2007 Spring Meeting of the College in La Quinta, California.

Founded in 1950, the College is composed of the best of the trial bar from the United States and Canada. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only and only after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality. Lawyers must have a minimum of fifteen years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship.

Membership in the College cannot exceed one per cent of the total lawyer population of any state or province. There are currently approximately 5,610 members in the United States and Canada, including active Fellows, Emeritus Fellows, Judicial Fellows (those who ascended to the bench after their induction) and Honorary Fellows.

The College strives to improve and elevate the standards of trial practice, the administration of justice and the ethics of the trial profession. Qualified lawyers are called to Fellowship in the College from all branches of trial practice. They are carefully selected from among those who customarily represent plaintiffs in civil cases and those who customarily represent defendants, those who prosecute accused of crime and those who defend them. The College is thus able to speak with a balanced voice on important issues affecting the legal profession and the administration of justice.

Thomas J. Magee is a partner in the firm of Moser & Marsalek, P.C. and has been practicing in this city for 22 years. The newly inducted Fellow is an alumnus of St. Louis University School of Law."
