Wise Carter is proud to share that Charles Cowan has been selected to become a member of the prestigious organization of the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel (FDCC). Charles was nominated by defense attorneys at two other Mississippi law firms for inclusion into the organization. The FDCC’s Board of Directors conducts a thorough six month long vetting process and seeks the opinions of other attorneys who have litigated with or against nominees. The FDCC is nationally recognized as a strong foundation of leadership and service to the legal profession and the related industries served by our members. FDCC affords the privilege of membership to those who have differentiated themselves professionally and personally and whose exemplary reputations have been earned. One of the FDCC’s primary goals is for members to keep business referrals within the group. For members whose clients need representations in other states, FDCC members aim to refer their clients to other FDCC members. 

Since 1936, The Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC) has continued the reputation of being composed of recognized leaders in the legal community who have achieved professional distinction. Members of the FDCC are dedicated to promoting the knowledge, fellowship, and professionalism of fellow members as they pursue the course of a balanced justice system and represent those in need of a defense in civil lawsuits.
