Overview
Federal, state, and individual plaintiffs are aggressively combatting a single concern: rampant robocalls using VoIP and Cloud services. Compliance with robocall mitigation regulation is crucial for businesses in today’s rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape. With an in-depth understanding of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), our team offers comprehensive counsel on STIR/SHAKEN compliance requirements, risk mitigation, and enforcement actions.
We assist clients in developing and implementing robust robocall mitigation strategies, including adopting STIR/SHAKEN protocols, call blocking and labeling compliance, and opt-in/opt-out procedures. Our attorneys also guide responding to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and state enforcement actions, defending against TCPA class actions, and engaging in policy advocacy efforts. By staying at the forefront of robocall regulations, we enable our clients to effectively manage their operations and minimize legal exposure in this rapidly evolving area.
