Mintz defended the Cleveland Cavaliers in a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class action lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California. Mintz secured an extremely favorable settlement based on evidence that the filer is a serial plaintiff.

Our Approach

Companies have been hit hard with class action lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) — losing tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. We help clients set up calling campaigns that meet state and federal requirements. And we counsel companies on how the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission apply their rules on calling, faxing, and texting.

Our attorneys have extensive experience defending clients against claims and suits alleging violations of the TCPA or other governing laws and regulations. We work to get erroneous or frivolous claims dismissed. But if litigation occurs or continues, we know how to establish a strong, energetic defense. Our team can help you avoid simple claims ballooning into gigantic class actions.

​Compliance

Our TCPA team routinely advises companies on compliance with federal and state sales and marketing requirements. We also know what type of consumer consent is needed for each type of call and how specific consents must be worded. We know when and how to apply a do-not-call list and when and how an opt-out provision must be afforded.

​Consumer Class Action Defense

We've handled TCPA class actions across all industries and in federal courts across the nation. Our seasoned litigators know the serial plaintiffs and counsel. And we're unfazed by their schemes. We've succeeded in winning at the motion stage or earlier in the vast majority of TCPA matters we've defended. That's what truly sets us apart. But if a case must go to trial, we have the experience and strength to follow it to the end.

Communications

We monitor the landscape of TCPA regulation and reform, helping you assess threats and opportunities, and navigate key relationships and partnership opportunities to further your business. Our team is involved in rulemaking and policy proceedings before the FCC and represents wireless telecommunications providers in TCPA compliance matters.

​Insurance Coverage Disputes

We know the arguments insurers use to deny coverage in TCPA suits because we've defended against them. More important, we have a long track record of convincing carriers to fund the defense of these actions — and, in some cases, to pay significant portions of settlements. Our goal is to help secure insurance protection. And to see to it that carriers make good on their coverage obligations when a claim arises.
