The National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA) 2012 Spring Collection Conference will take place at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront from May 16th through May 19th, with early registration discounts available through April 16, 2012. The conference will provide an exciting variety of educational and networking opportunities.Ad

“NARCA had record attendance at its Spring Collection Conference last year, and I’m confident that trend will continue,” said NARCA President Lou Freedman, an attorney with the Illinois-based law firm of Freedman Anselmo Lindberg LLC. “These are, to say the least, interesting times for collection attorneys. In addition to new court decisions, rules and federal and state legislation, we now have new issues and opportunities with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Combining discussion on these topics with a collegial setting and opportunity to network with colleagues, clients and potential clients is a large part of what drives the exceptional attendance at NARCA Collection Conferences.”

The NARCA Spring Collection Conference will include two full days of CLE-approved educational sessions on topical issues relating to counterclaims, vicarious liability, call recording, admission of records, ethics, cloud computing, social media and regulation and supervision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “Staying abreast of the law and regulation in these areas is absolutely essential for practicing attorneys,” explained Theresa Weinberg, NARCA Education Pillar Chair and attorney with the law firm Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA. “For members to have access to educational resources of this caliber makes the NARCA Collection Conference a highly anticipated event.”
