SEAN KAY JOINS TROUTMAN FIRM!: You Can COUNT On This Guy…

Add a comment

It takes a brave guy to go by the “Count.”

The word always conjures dreary images of hackneyed vampires, or perhaps Children’s television. Or perhaps–if you’re lucky–a tasty marshmellowy breakfast cereal.

No marshmallows here though.

In fact TCPAWorld’s new Count–our very first one– is a tough-as-nails complex litigator.

Sean Kay Joins the Troutman Firm

Count Kay, as he will not be known, is one of those soft-spoken tough guys you really have to worry about. Another in a long line of scholar athletes I like to hire, the guy is a tremendous basketball player– he prevails in both COURTS, you see–with a tremendous work ethic and a thoughtful, personable disposition.

If the notion of “imposing calm” is already familiar to you then you may have already met Sean. The guy’s charismatic tranquility may already be his litigation trademark–which is not something you see everyday. And he represents the perfect foil to my, shall we call it, “controlled chaos” litigation approach?

The guy has a 1,200 HP brainpan and I’m just bursting at the seems to see what he can do. He has a high bar to meet, however. The Baroness–your friend Brittany–has been absolutely SMASHING in her short stint with me, earning rave reviews from clients while meeting my impossibly high standards with a breathless ease I haven’t seen since the days of Queenie.

Really a magical team that’s being built over here right now. And adding the POWERFUL Count Kay really takes us up another notch. Couldn’t be more proud.

WELCOME SEAN!

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
