Well folks the developments are coming in hot and heavy.

We know Biden looks to be tapping Leandra English to lead Biden’s transition review team for the CFPB. As the Hill reports this is: “a move likely to please progressives and advocates for tougher financial rules. ”

These are exactly the sorts of appointments TCPAWorld needs to be focused on as the new administration (likely) takes over moving into January, 2021. I broke down all of the critical regulatory pieces rolling around during this topsy turvy transition period in the MASSIVE dnc.com webinar earlier this week which is NOW AVAILABLE right here:

Meanwhile the folks at consumerprivacyworld.com have provided the DEFINITIVE assessment of the new administration may mean for data privacy regs and litigation. This is an incredible piece and you absolutely must read it. Here’s a taste:

Will a Biden Administration be interested in pursuing privacy legislation?

It is anticipated that the Biden Administration will likely see pursuing privacy legislation as a high priority.  This is consistent with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ track record and interest in privacy-related topics during her career as California Attorney General and US Senator.

As Attorney General, Harris was very active in the privacy space.  During her tenure, privacy issues related to the rise of mobile devices were of particular concern.  In January 2013, her office issued a report (Privacy on the Go: Recommendations for the Mobile Ecosystem) and pushed tech giants to agree to certain principles to provide creative and forward-looking solutions that give consumers greater transparency and control (Joint Statement on Principles).  It was also during Harris’ tenure that the Privacy Enforcement and Protection Unit of the California Attorney General’s Office was created to enforce laws related to cyber privacy, identity theft and data breaches.  That office is currently responsible for enforcement of the California Consumer Privacy Act.  Additionally, in 2015, Harris also secured settlements with several large companies related to their privacy practices.  Notably, one of these settlements required the company at issue to hire a Chief Privacy Officer, the first time such a provision has been included in a settlement with the California Department of Justice.

This is insightful stuff folks. You have to check it out.

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.

  2. The election is not over. Biden has not been declared the winner. This is pure speculation at this point. If you do think Biden won, then you need to sign up for the tcpalitigatorlist.com because I am sure that the trial lawyers will be quite influential to expand the TCPA.
