Professional Biography
We have the critical combination of class action litigation, Federal Communication Commission (FCC), and regulatory and compliance expertise to assist clients with all aspects of mitigating risk under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Counseling
In order to assess potential TCPA litigation exposure, we work with clients to review:
- Third-party vendor agreements, including indemnification provisions, and auditing and record-keeping practices to ensure compliance under the TCPA and other applicable laws and regulations
- Dialing protocol
- Communication software and technology systems
- Customer file systems
- Call center transcripts and website disclosures
- Insurance coverage for TCPA or customer privacy violations
- Customer arbitration agreements
- Customer agreements and best practices regarding revocation of consent
- Market solutions to mitigate the risks of violating the TCPA, including verifying wireless and reassigned numbers
Litigation-related Capabilities
- Class action and multijurisdictional defense
- Parallel advocacy before the FCC – a strategic consideration that has gained additional importance after the DC Circuit’s ruling and the early indications from the FCC that it will take a fresh look at some of the more salient issues in the TCPA arena
- Parallel state attorneys general investigations and litigation
- Third-party actions
- Crisis management
- National settlement programs
