TCPAWORLD After Dark: Major Firm Hiring a Content Specialist to Write TCPA (And Other) Blogs and I’m Highly Intrigued

2 Comments

So I have officially disrupted the entire legal world.

Eagle-eyed TCPAWorld reader picked up a curious want ad on LinkedIn today and sent it my way.

Turns out a big law firm is trying to hire someone to blog for them to “enhance the firm’s position” as a top practice group.

Hmmm.

Seems to me that if the firm were actually a top practice group they would probably already have some folks available to blog for them and not need to seek specialized help on subject.

Just saying.

Goes to show how competitive the world of legal blogging has become since somebody–*this guy*–went and weaponized it into the most powerful marketing platform the legal industry has ever seen… ( I mean other than the whole Sweet James billboards thing and the “Accidentes” ads on buses and all that.)

Let’s just call this what it is: A big law firm trying to compete with the Czar using some hired guns. Flattering. And kind of funny.

Here’s the job description–I removed the firm’s name–so you can judge for yourself:

Consumer Financial Services Content Specialist to create compelling and distinctive client-facing thought leadership content to enhance the firm’s position as the leading CFS practice in the nation. This position will report to the firm’s Director of Marketing Content as well as the leadership of the CFS Practice Group, and will work directly with the practice group’s attorneys and business development professionals to write and edit a variety of thought leadership content. The Consumer Financial Services Content Specialist may also be called upon to assist with other CFS-related content projects as needed.

I think I might apply.

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.
