In Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 50 Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and founder of Edelson PC, sits down with Eric Troutman, a prominent class action defense lawyer and the Czar of TCPAWorld.

To start the show, Jay and Eric talk about their careers. Despite having wildly different paths, both attorneys started in BigLaw, opened their own firms, and now have podcasts discussing a wide range of issues (6:30).

Next, Jay and Eric discuss counseling clients on the defense side (19:00). According to Jay, when valuing cases on the defense side he looks at the plaintiffs’ attorneys and asks himself how much they need out of the settlement. For Eric, the first things he looks at are market value, jurisdiction, judge, and opposing counsel. Eric also breaks the cardinal rule of class action practice -- not only does he talk about how the sausage is made, he is the first defense attorney to publicly state that most plaintiff's firms settle cases based on the lowest amount a court would accept. (27:30)

Later in the show, Jay talks about how the Edelson PC values settlements (45:30)

To end the show, Jay asks Eric why he’s not a plaintiffs lawyer (52:00).
