Credit Union Attorneys < Kaufman & Canoles

“We’re one of the few firms in the country with a multi-lawyer team that works on credit union matters daily. This insight gives us a real-time understanding of how the industry is always evolving – with new laws, regulations, standards, and practices – which we pass on directly to our clients.”

Who We Are

The attorneys in Kaufman & Canoles’ Credit Union practice guide clients in a broad range of consumer compliance issues, National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) requirements, and federal and state rules that govern credit union service organizations. We regularly serve as outside general counsel for credit unions of all sizes – from small credit unions with less than $25 million in assets to large institutions whose assets can reach $1 billion.
How We Help

Our team understands how credit unions differ from other financial institutions, have specific legal needs, and face unique challenges. We’re dedicated to helping member-owned, not-for-profit credit unions succeed.

We guide volunteer boards and credit union executives through complex federal and state compliance, including with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Uniform Commercial Code. We help to navigate the full spectrum of operating issues – from labor and employment to loan participation sales and services to corporate governance, real estate, and more. In addition, our litigators defend the rights of credit unions in their commercial disputes and class action lawsuits.

Clients count on us to ensure compliance with ever-aggressive regulators like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). They appreciate our comprehensive coverage, practical solutions, and cost-effective guidance. And they look to us to help them run smooth and successful operations.
Who We Represent

We work closely with executives and volunteer boards of directors by anticipating operating and commercial obstacles and responding to the challenges not-for-profit credit unions may face.
