“It’s the Time of the Season”: Recent Developments in TCPA and State Telemarketing Litigation and Legislation

In 1968, English rock band The Zombies released their psychedelic counterculture anthem, “Time of the Season,” which was inspired, in part, by George Gershwin’s jazz standard “Summertime.”  Well, a lot has happened in the telemarketing space this summer (and in the preceding months).  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.
