Former ConsumerAffairs GC Joins Troutman Amin In Calif.

The former general counsel of ConsumerAffairs has jumped to Irvine, California-based marketing law firm Troutman Amin LLP.

The firm announced Wednesday the addition of John Henson, who led his former company’s legal and compliance matters and assisted with its talent and culture efforts. He has joined Troutman Amin’s compliance legal team.

“I was comfortable in my role as general counsel for ConsumerAffairs, but the opportunity to join Troutman Amin LLP was too good to pass up,” Henson said in a statement to Law360 Pulse on Thursday.  “Moving to Troutman Amin made sense for me because it allowed me to practice in my specialty of working with digital marketers and lead generation companies while deepening my expertise to help these companies.”

Troutman Amin handles complex federal court litigation and provides compliance counseling on emerging privacy and telecom legal issues, the firm said.

“It only made sense to go work for the best firm for digital marketers and lead generators, which is Troutman Amin. Becoming an expert requires working with and learning from experts, and I get to do just that with Eric [Troutman] and Puja [Amin],” Henson said. 

He added “I will be leveraging my expertise to help our clients with their compliance concerns while Eric and Puja continue to protect companies with their litigation practice. This allows the firm to really be a complete partner for them across a multitude of issues specific to our industry.”

Henson’s resume includes leading ConsumerAffairs’ marketing efforts, financial services verticals, lead generation practices and reputation-management services.

Earlier in his career, Henson held several roles with Lending Tree, including vice president of compliance, interim general counsel and assistant general manager of mortgage vertical.

“The guy is a literal hero to people in the industry. So many folks look up to him and respect his guidance and advice. No way he would choose another firm when he had the opportunity to join us — and he didn’t,” partner Puja J. Amin said in a statement.

A graduate of Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law, Henson earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Martin Methodist College, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Recently, Troutman Amin has been working to stop robocalls through work with a mutual benefit corporation called Responsible Enterprises Against Consumer Harassment. The firm said it has led efforts to educate lead generation and direct-to-consumer marketing industries on the consequences of failing to comply with the law related to robocalls.

“Henson was absolutely the hottest in-house lateral in the market. Everybody wanted this guy. And in the end — after a pile of homework — the guy decided to bring his talents to Troutman Amin LLP. Very smart move on his part. Very smart,” founder Eric J. Troutman said in a statement.

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.
