E. Randol Schoenberg is of-counsel and was the

co-founding partner of Burris, Schoenberg & Walden, LLP, where he

handled a number of complex business litigationmatters, specializing in cases involving looted art and the recovery of property

stolen by the Nazi authorities during the Holocaust. Mr. Schoenberg has tried and argued cases before the United States

Supreme Court, Second and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, United States District Court, California Court

of Appeal and the Los Angeles Superior Court. During the past decade,

he has litigated several prominent cases, including Republic of Austria

v. Altmann case.

In the Altmann case, he sought return of six famous Klimt paintings

to his client. After persuading the United States Supreme Court that

Maria Altmann

could sue Austria for return of the paintings, he agreed to arbitrate

the

dispute in Austria. In January 2006 the arbitration panel decided that

the paintings, valued at over $325 million, should be returned to Mrs.

Altmann. In 2007, Mr. Schoenberg received the California Lawyer

Attorney

of the Year award for outstanding achievement in the field of

litigation. He also received the 2006 Jurisprudence Award from

the Anti-Defamation League and the Justice Louis D. Brandeis Award from

the American Jewish Congress.

Mr. Schoenberg graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor

of Arts in Mathematics in 1988 and a certificate in European

Cultural Studies. In 1991, he received his Juris Doctor degree from

the University of Southern California.
