Rogers, of the firm's Atlanta and Orlando offices, focuses her practice in the area of public finance, with an emphasis on disclosure and municipal securities issues, economic development, and public-private partnerships. She has served as disclosure counsel, bond counsel, underwriters' counsel, trustee's counsel, purchasers' counsel, lender's counsel, and borrower's counsel in connection with publicly and privately offered financings in a wide array of sectors, including general government, airports, higher education, community development districts, tax allocation districts, and water, sewer, and electric utilities.
Motl, of the firm's Minneapolis office, leverages her mechanical engineering background in her products liability practice, defending products for drug and medical device manufacturers. Motl is committed to advancing the profession through diversity and leadership, as a founding member of the Minnesota Disability Bar Association, the second state affinity bar association in the country dedicated to legal professionals with disabilities, and through her involvement in the Minnesota Chapter of the Federal Bar Association where she serves as a committee co-chair.
Vickers, of the firm's founding Miami office, focuses her practice on virtually all aspects of the land development and entitlement process. In doing so, Vickers is experienced with representing a broad range of private land developers and managing several development projects throughout the entitlement process - starting from the site due diligence phase, to preparing land use and zoning applications for public hearing review and approval, and throughout the permitting process. Vickers's multijurisdictional experience and strong relationships with local government and municipalities enables her to navigate complex projects that require seamless collaboration and positive rapport with local government and community stakeholders.
LCLD has more than 400 corporate chief legal officer and law firm managing partner participants who have dedicated themselves to building a more open and diverse legal profession, according to the organization. For more information about LCLD programs, visit http://www.lcldnet.org.
