Inside Back Cover 2021 FDCC Roster | 1 FEDERATION OF DEFENSE & CORPORATE COUNSEL Overview Since 1938 the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC) has served as the pre- eminent professional trade association of the premier defense and senior corporate counsel and insurance industry representatives from across the United States and around the world. Established and dedicated to promoting knowledge, fellowship and professionalism among attorneys and other professionals striving to achieve a balanced justice system in the defense of civil lawsuits. This Roster comprises leaders from the boardrooms and the courtrooms; who have been nominated by their peers for having achieved a reputation of excellence and continuing to provide their respective colleagues and clients with the highest degree of legal advocacy and professional- ism. Following a rigorous vetting process these individuals exemplify the highest standards within the defense legal community. The FDCC provides its members with exclusive benefits to facilitate increasing their competen- cies, advancing the profession through the engagement and collaboration among its 25 Substantive Law Sections, Committees and arranging annual, winter, Corporate Counsel, Insurance Industry, technology, regional and other meetings as well as online webinars and other virtual presenta- tions. The Federation also champions providing tools and resources dedicated to the personal and emotional side of the profession; working toward a higher standard of civility; and contributing to advance local and other non-profit community-based organizations. Scholarly articles and updates from the various substantive law sections are also shared among the membership in the FDCC’s publications, social media channels, webinars and on our website. The Federation also advocates the positions of its membership and the professional legal community through amicus curiae briefs in the courts and is regularly requested to provide formal comments to administrative and regulatory agencies and within other legal advisory groups.
