1 Comment

Look at those soulful eyes. This guy is going to be great!

Duke Duke Duke Duke!

There’s nothing I like better than growing. and we do a lot of it around here.

Just last week we added our latest staff member– Connor Treanor.

Connor joins us from loanDepot where he was a FANTASTIC resource for outside counsel assisting on TCPA litigation matters and privacy legal issues for the famous non-bank mortgage originator. And wouldn’t you know it, our clients need assistance with TCPA and privacy legal issues. What a fit!

Connor is deeply experience in civil litigation matters and knows the practice of law exceptionally well. We are looking forward to deploying him on our portfolio of complex federal court litigation matters the firm handles across the country.

But his background and deep knowledge with substantive legal issues–again, particularly TCPA, state mini-TCPAs, privacy (CIPA!) and mortgage-specific issues is what really makes this guy invaluable.

Plus he is a real sparkplug–full of energy and really ready to dive in and get moving.

“I am honestly incredibly excited to be working with this team. We worked so well together when I was at loanDepot and now that I can support this team directly its just really and great opportunity.” Connor said. “I want to get better, and working on a nationally-known complex litigation team like this one is such an amazing opportunity.”

Queenie had some great thoughts on the matter too: “This guy is fantastic. I had the opportunity to work with him when I was heading up the legal department’s efforts to support enterprise marketing and he was so responsive and so on top of things. He is going to be an absolutely great fit here where responsiveness and client support is our absolute priority.”

For his part, Connor was excited to be working with Queenie again.

“I actually became much more focused on TCPA matters when I started working with Puja. I love the area of law. Really fast moving and I just find it fun.”

Connor will be joining the firm as the “Duke” and working alongside the renowned “Duchess”–Angelika Munger, who also supported Puja while at loanDepot.

Angelika has become a nationally-recognized thought leader on state level mini-TCPAs and privacy issues and deftly supports the firm’s compliance efforts. It is contemplated Connor will serve as Angelika’s counterpoint on litigation matters.

“Connor is a big addition.” Angelika says with a smile. “I know he’s going to fit in great and work hard and so this is just really exciting.”

Please join the rest of us in welcoming Connor to the firm! Give him a shout at connor@troutmanamin.com and connect with him on LinkedIn.

Also be on the look out for some blogs from the guy. He has a great approach to writing and I think you’ll enjoy hearing from him regularly.

Chat soon.

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.
