TCPAWORLD AFTER DARK: I’m the Luckiest Guy in the World (But You Already Knew That)

Add a comment

So just got done recording an incredibly awesome podcast episode with Jay Edelson joining us. The guy is just brilliant. But everyone knows that already.

I think people–including me–fail to realize just how brilliant Queenie (Puja Amin) and the Baroness (Brit Andres) are though. Man did they really show off today. I was the weakest link on today’s show. So fortunate to get to work with them all the time (and you too Wizard!!)

We discussed Dobbs. Yes the big Roe killer that everyone on the planet is talking about. Except Big Law. They’re absolutely silent on it.

That’s a real shame.

Meant so much to me today when Brit began her comments on Dobbs by thanking me for giving her the opportunity to share her opinion. As she pointed out basically any other firm would have silenced her and not let her voice be heard on any firm-authorized outreach.

Something really sad about that. Big firms are just now getting around to treating women as equal partners (finally) and yet when they lose an important right women lawyers still find themselves muzzled by their employers. That’s just icky.

Anyhoo, this was a remarkably powerful episode. Should drop next week. More on that to come…

Then I was goofing off getting ready for the big Summit on the 18th and 19th. Really can’t wait for that. If you haven’t seen it, here’s my teaser:

Here’s my cool Troutman Firm photo backdrop thing and my new Yeti mugs (how awesome is this?!)

Attendees at the summit will have a chance to win a super rare yellow Troutman Firm Yeti–worth millions I assume–and everyone will receive a Troutman Firm t-shirt, hat, and tons of other awesome stuff in my swag bag!

But most importantly they’ll get a copy of my 2022 TCPA Review. And that thing is literally worth its weight in gold.

You can still register for the summit here if you want. July 18 and 19 in gorgeous Huntington Beach, California.

So yeah, I get to collaborate with brilliant and talented (and thoughtful and powerful) people, handling incredibly meaningful and important cases, while sharing critical information with my legions of fans in fun formats like podcasts, blog posts and conferences.

And I call this “work.”

Yeah, I literally am the luckiest guy in the world.

Thanks all for being part of it.

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.
