Over the past few years, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) has become a serious risk for companies in almost all industries. Hundreds of class action lawsuits have been brought, and there’s no sign of them slowing down. Regulators have also been increasingly focused on these issues. It’s now more important than ever that businesses understand and review their practices with respect to text messages, auto-dialers, pre-recorded messages, and fax machines.
