Breakfast Briefing on TCPA Litigation

24 September 2014
Squire Patton Boggs, Capitol Room, 2000 Huntington Center, 41 South High Street, Columbus, OH
Related Professionals:

Companies in every industry sector and of all sizes are increasingly facing litigation risk under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).  The common factor?  Communication with a customer via telephone, text or fax. Multi-million dollar class action litigation is filed every day as a result of companies notifying customers of discount offers, information regarding loan servicing, and other categories of informational or telemarketing-related communications.

Capital One’s recent US$75 million TCPA settlement has drawn added attention to this issue. The plaintiffs’ bar is actively targeting companies and organizations that communicate directly with consumers  – from banks to retailers, restaurants, sports and entertainment companies, to college and university systems, healthcare providers and third party vendors. 

Squire Patton Boggs’ TCPA Team includes former government TCPA regulators, TCPA compliance specialists and litigators, including litigators who focus exclusively on class action defense.  The Team will lead a substantive breakfast-briefing on TCPA compliance, regulatory developments, and litigation challenges and defensive strategy.
 
TCPA Discussion Points Will Include:

  • Risks associated with consumer communications under the TCPA
  • TCPA compliance advice and how to mitigate risk
  • Regulatory developments and pending TCPA issues under FCC consideration
  • Lessons-learned from high-profile lawsuits, such as the Capital One class action, and why TCPA lawsuits are so costly
  • Developing a well-matrixed defense against diverse types of TCPA claims – single, cross-border and class action claims

This event is for Squire Patton Boggs clients only.
