Power Lawyers: Squire’s Consumer Privacy Team Continues to Churn Out Must Read Content

1 Comment

You all know and love Squire Patton Boggs’ incredible TCPA team and its vaunted FCC resources, but the Consumer Privacy World team is really generating a ton of attention right now as well. And for good reason.

When a bunch of brilliant financial services litigators team up with one of the best privacy teams in the nation to create a fast moving consumer privacy resource, the results were sure to be magic. And the early returns on consumerprivacyworld.com are simply off the charts.

Probably the most critical recent article is Kristin Bryan’s fantastic breakdown of the CFPB’s huge new rulemaking implementing the FDCPA. I covered the story from a text outreach angle last week, but Kristin dives deep and really give you everything you need to know in her story–found here. This one is a must read for all the collectors out there–and I know there’s a bunch of you following TCPAWorld.com.

Kristin also teamed up with the Firm’s Glenn Brown to analyze the privacy impacts of using facial recognition to trace COVID-19 contacts and slow the spread of the virus in an article everyone seems to be talking about right now:

“Tracking COVID-19 With Geolocation And Facial Recognition: Logistics And Concerns” (pages 14-15)  https://www.squirepattonboggs.com/en/insights/publications/2020/10/tracking-covid-19-with-geolocation-and-facial-recognition-logistics-and-concerns

Naturally broader issues around cybersecurity and privacy in the age of COVID continue to dominate the consumer privacy landscape more generally, and our privacy dynamos provide some tips and tricks on the subject here:

“Cybersecurity And Privacy Issues In The Time Of COVID-19” (pages 1, 17-20) https://www.squirepattonboggs.com/en/insights/publications/2020/10/cybersecurity-and-privacy-issues-in-the-time-of-covid-19

I wanted to pass these items along to TCPAWorld.com readers given their pertinence.  Chat soon.

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.
