In 2020, TCPA lawsuits remained one of the most commonly-filed type of class action in federal courts across the country, and all signs indicate that the trend will continue in the year ahead. Yet potential changes loom on the horizon. The United States Supreme Court is poised to issue a decision that could dramatically impact hundreds of pending cases involving alleged autodialers and alter the TCPA landscape for good.
