TCPAWORLD AFTER DARK: the lion and the mouse…

Add a comment

so the team went to the California Mortgage Bankers’ Association’s Mortgage Innovator’s conference this week because–let’s face it–nobody innovates in the legal profession except the Czar…

for instance, what law firm has a light up lollipop tick thing with their logo on it? just mine.

And oddly, that’s not even much of an overstatement. that’s how bad the legal profession is at innovation. i may literally be the best legal innovator on the planet. 

Anyway, this post isn’t about that it is about the fun time we had at the MBA event.

And it was fun.

We learned a ton and met some really great folks.

And we introduced our newest team member Zeina– she really lightened things up.

ha!

Zeina and Puja got along fantastically, which is very important because… well Puja is in charge of everything around here.

But after the event ended… well we went on a walk over to a place called Disneyland.

Now I am by no means a fan of the City of Dis (yes, that’s a Dante reference) but for my team I will do just about anything– since I expect the same out of them.

And so it was that the Czar dropped his grumpy persona to enjoy a fun time at the ole theme park…

And it was funner than I would care to admit–especially the TEACUPS!!!

umm… and now you know everything about us.

it is odd because we determined the English language actually lacks the proper word to describe what we are.

why isnt there a word for a “super cohesive incredibly high-performing ultra-dedicated group of people hyper-focused on the same objective”???  calling us a “team” is woefully inadequate. “cult” is closer, but definitely not the right meaning. so odd there isn’t a word for that.

maybe we’ll become the new word–a “Troutman Amin.”

When a group of people really work hard together and deliver a great result people will say “you’re a regular Troutman Amin….”

🙂

anyway goodnight tcpaworld.

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.
