1982 — Jim Conboy, a bank attorney from Cheboygan, forms two compliance cooperatives to help community banks comply with increasingly complex federal regulations.
2009 — Bodman banking law specialists, with over 500 years of combined experience, help more than 100 financial institutions large and small succeed in today’s challenging business and regulatory environment.
The only Michigan firm to be named a “First Band” Banking and Finance Law Firm for seven consecutive years by Chambers USA, Bodman LLP has a tradition of delivering expert regulatory compliance counsel and many other sophisticated, high value legal services. The Financial Institutions Compliance Cooperative (“FICC”) is an integral part of Bodman’s effort to find innovative ways to help financial institutions meet their legal obligations. Since 1982, the FICC has provided access to Bodman’s banking law expertise and other benefits not available from any other single source. Whether your institution is a community bank, a suburban savings & loan or a multi-billion dollar holding company, membership in the FICC will prove to be a valued asset.
The FICC is a legal cooperative open to all financial institutions with operations in Michigan. Bodman LLP attorneys provide high-level research, analysis, and advice on a range of regulatory and operational issues to the FICC as a whole, and the cost of those services is apportioned among all members. All members share in the work product produced on behalf of the FICC. Through FICC membership, even small community banks have access to the most sophisticated yet practical legal advice available in Michigan at a reasonable cost.
