Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class action filings are nearly 30% higher year over year, and state telemarketing law filings show no sign of slowing either, despite favorable legal and legislative developments over the past year. Given the draconian, non-capped, aggregated statutory damages typically available under the TCPA and state “mini-TCPAs,” any company that uses the telephone to engage with consumers, including through the use of AI and text message, needs to pay attention. Telemarketing remains a legal minefield that can create potentially devastating exposure.
In this presentation, attendees will learn the fundamentals of federal and notable state telemarketing laws; gain insight into current litigation trends (and some defenses); hear about notable case outcomes and federal and state legislative developments; and learn practical compliance strategies to minimize risk.
