Banking and Financial Services Law

Corporation and Business

Charles D. Gullickson

Financial and insurance regulatory matters make up a substantial portion of Chuck’s practice. He devotes a significant amount of time to such banking law matters as lending transactions, loan documentation, bank acquisitions and branching, and Chuck advises banking clients regularly on regulatory matters and oversight of third party vendors and servicers, and credit card lending and securitizations. Chuck also handles various insurance regulatory matters and serves as Executive Director and General Counsel for the South Dakota Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association. The latter position has also led to his service on various task forces concerning nationwide insurance insolvencies.

Chuck is among the many firm attorneys who have an avowed interest in the arts. This is reflected in his community activities, where he serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Sciences and chair of the Visual Arts Center. He has also served as a member of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra’s Board of Directors. Chuck also currently serves on the board of directors of the Sioux Empire Housing Partnership and the Wegner Arboretum Society.
