Burt Raimi began his legal career in the Appellate Court Section of the National Labor Relations Board. From 1969 through 1971, Burt was in private law practice where he concentrated in federal securities law, representing issuers and underwriters in public offerings of securities and broker-dealers in regulatory compliance matters.

Burt joined the Legal Division of the FDIC in 1971 as Deputy Assistant General Counsel for the Open Bank section. In 1973, he was appointed Assistant General Counsel for the Compliance and Enforcement Section and in 1975 he was promoted to Deputy General Counsel with oversight responsibility for the entire Legal Division and all outside counsel. While at the FDIC, Burt worked on the resolution of large bank failures, complex enforcement issues, including enforcement of the consumer protection laws, assisted in drafting legislation such as the Municipal Securities regulatory laws, the Community Reinvestment Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act and was actively engaged in the coordination of regulatory functions with the other federal and state regulators.

After government service, Burt re-entered private practice with the law firms of Rosenman and Colin (1978-1986) and Dechert Price and Rhoads (1986-1993). In both firms, Burt engaged primarily in a corporate, securities and financial institutions practice which included all aspects of bank and thrift regulation as well as loan documentation, loan workouts, mergers and acquisitions, holding company formations and trust department and trust company matters. His practice also included public and private securities offerings, investment company and investment advisory regulation and the documentation of complex corporate transactions.

Burt serves as an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.

Burt graduated from Brandeis University in 1960 and he received his law degree, with honors, from the University of Michigan Law School in 1963.
