TCPAWorld’s Podcast Launches!: Jay Edelson Predicts Nine-Figure TCPA Settlement on First Ever “Unprecedented” Podcast

4 Comments

Well folks, TCPAWorld.com has officially launched its podcast!

Talk about amazing. The new podcast–fittingly dubbed “Unprecedented”–is “trimulcasted” from three different locations. (How is that even possible?) Squire Patton Boggs has invested the resources necessary to maintain podcast studios in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and D.C. and TCPAWorld Rulers from all three locations join forces for the first ever Unprecedented podcast episode, recording live across the country.

Not only does Unprecedented feature a huge cast of truly knowledgeable TCPA aces,  each week the podcast will provide insights from titans of the TCPAworldscape and a breakdown of all the biggest news involving the TCPA.

In the first episode alone, the Squire Patton Boggs TCPA defense team breaks down TRACED, PDR Resources, Schaevitz, Khs Corp, and Jay Edelson joins our podcast to predict a nine-figure TCPA settlement–and so much more.  Here’s a quick rundown of topics and timestamps:

But the biggest news is our huge interview with Edelson, P.C. founder Jay Edelson–aka the boogey man.

And talk about calling your shot. Jay joins the first ever Squire Patton Boggs “Unprecedented” podcast to discuss his big $76MM TCPA class action settlement in Birchmeier, his huge win in Henderson, and  his work under the Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA.”) Along the way he predicts a nine figure TCPA settlement is right around the corner. In his words:

I think that you are going to see a nine figure TCPA settlement… I’d be pretty surprised if there isn’t one in the next year or so… I think there will be a nine figure settlement in the next year or so.

-Jay Edelson on the Unprecedented Podcast, Record Date March 29, 2019.

Holy smokes.

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
