TCPA Class Action Claims: What is Happening and Where are They Going?

 

The FCBA Enforcement Committee will hold a CLE on Monday, October 20 from 6:00 – 8:15 p.m. entitled TCPA Class Action Claims: What is Happening and Where are They Going?  This program will be held at Wiley Rein LLP, 1776 K Street, NW.

 

Litigation over claims of violations of the Telephone Consumers Protection Act (TCPA) has grown significantly in the past few years.  Marketers are facing TCPA class action claims in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and a few have settled for sums in the tens of millions of dollars.  Moreover, the FCC has been presented with dozens of petitions seeking rulings relating to marketing involving text messages, autodialed calls, prerecorded messages or facsimile messages.  This program will provide an overview of TCPA litigation and a discussion of the policy questions the litigation presents.  In this CLE, you will hear from class action plaintiffs and other practitioners active “in the trenches.”  Government officials and industry representatives also will discuss how to revise the TCPA to address today’s marketing challenges.
