WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AND
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
A lawyer who collects debts
on behalf of a client must successfully accomplish the collection of the account
and must comply with a widening array of legal guidelines governing this field
of practice. A collection case should result in recovery of money for the client
in an efficient manner. Additionally, lawyers collecting consumer debts must
comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The FDCPA coverage
has been extended to regulate lawyers engaged in litigation activities by the
Supreme Court decision in Heintz v. Jenkins.
This program will explain how a lawyer should handle collection matters without
wasting a lot of time, frustrating the client and/or exposing a lawyer to
substantial fines and tortious claims. Designed for the attorney who handles
collection as part of a general law practice, Debt Collection: The Profits
and Regulatory Perils of Collecting Debts will focus on debt collection from
its initial stages through suit and enforcement of judgment. The faculty will
also discuss ethical considerations mandated by the Maryland Rules of
Professional Conduct. Our outstanding faculty of practitioners experienced in
debt collection will provide a practical perspective on the economics of
collecting debts.
