Rick Donovan has joined Lake City Bank as senior vice president, general counsel.

Donovan will manage the bank’s risk management groups and join the bank’s Management Committee. He assumes the general counsel role from Kristin L. Pruitt, executive vice president and chief administrative officer, as a result of the recent expansion of her management responsibilities.

“Rick brings a wealth of banking and professional experience to his role at Lake City Bank,” said David M. Findlay, president and chief executive officer. “Importantly, he also brings a strong business sense to every decision he makes and has provided the bank with valuable and thoughtful guidance over the 20 years we have worked with him as outside counsel. He is a trusted and well-known partner throughout the bank.”

Donovan joins the bank from Rothberg Logan Warsco in Fort Wayne, IN, where he was a partner practicing in the areas of commercial banking, corporate and real estate law. He has experience representing national and regional institutions, including Lake City Bank. He has been with Rothberg Logan Warsco since 1993.

Lake City Bank, a $5 billion bank headquartered in Warsaw, IN, is the fifth largest bank headquartered in the state, and the largest bank 100% invested in Indiana.
