TCPAWORLD AFTER DARK: Fun Podcast Day…

2 Comments

 

So was HONORED to join Jay Edelson’s Noncompliant podcast today. Episode not out yet but when it is I will let everyone know.

Couple of key points:

  1. Jay is scared to play me in volleyball, which makes sense since I am ever-so-tall-and-athletic-and-good-at-hyphens and also handsome;
  2. I accused Jay of being driven by blind egotism, which he initially agreed with but then backed away from because his ego wouldn’t let me be right;
  3. Jay told me he “despises” me–and that’s a quote;
  4. It was otherwise a hootenanny.

Will drop soon, I assume. Will advise when it does.

Then we recorded our own podcast–EPISODE 5 OF DESERVE TO WIN!!!–with Mike Greenwald.

Mr. Number One on the List.

Eep.

It was all fun and games until I pushed him on Hunstein and otherwise suggested he was making millions off innocent wrong number calls. Then it was just fun.

That episode will be out soon.

Also layoffs coming— but not from Troutman Firm. SO MANY incredible resumes lately.

Who do I hire? And in what order?

Hmmmm…

 

Me right now.

Published by Eric J. Troutman

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.

  1. Well, more proof that not everybody likes you! So, time to quit the false advertising that everybody likes you.

  2. You need to hold the line on not hiring BigLaw refugees. Like you said “incredible resumes.” But how many of them have real, marketable, valuable legal skills?
