TCPAWORLD AFTER DARK: A Royal Wedding; a TCPA Summit; and More Florida Mini-TCPA Filings

Add a comment

Good evening my TCPA.World. Ever so awake at night. Glistening streets bathed in neon, and all that.

A little potpourri for you this evening.

First, I am so pleased to announce TCPAWorld’s first ROYAL WEDDING.

The incredibly-talented Christina Lamoureux–the tremendous and hard working Viscountess of TCPAWorld–will soon be wed. And its just amazing news.

The lucky suitor–soon to be bound by marriage into the TCPA.World royal court as its new (and first) Viscount– is Brian Fritzsche, Assistant Vice President, Regulatory Counsel at the Consumer Bankers Association. He is a super good guy and I could not be happier for the couple.

Christina and Brian and Yay!

Three HUGE cheers from TCPAWorld for you folks and a personal and very hearty CONGRATULATIONS from your Czar. Brian–I look forward to formally admitting you into elite cadre of TCPAWorld royalty. (Although you’re only here because of Christina buddy.)

The ROYAL wedding will take place sometime in 2023. I’ll keep you posted on who is bringing who, and what everyone’s wearing and color schemes and the like. Probably.

In other–way less interesting, but still critical–news momentum is building around the MASSIVE TCPA Summit being put on by DNC.com. As always this is THE TCPA event of the year. Two full days of TCPA analysis and discussion by some of the best TCPA lawyers on the planet– and in a format that is a TRUE summit that allows ample time for questions and answers and deep participation by attendees in a discourse about critical TCPA and telecom issues.

And since this will be the first TWO DAY event, we will have an extremely insightful AFTER DARK event on the table. Trouble.

I’ll break news of featured speakers shortly. But with two full December days of critical TCPA and call deliverability content presented on one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, you simply cannot go wrong.

More info to come.

Finally, the FTSA filings in Florida continue to pour in.

I was speaking with a Florida Plaintiff’s lawyer today who said this with absolute sincerity:

“The Mini TCPA is literally the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of the world.”

Ignore it at your peril folks.

Since TCPA.World loves to read these things here’s a couple of new complaints for you. As you can tell, the text component continues to drive most of the litigation and every vertical is under attack right now:

Always here for you TCPA.World–unless you’re looking for a ROYAL wedding invite. Can’t help you there.

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.
