And the good news doesn’t stop there. We’re also thrilled to announce the return of Pam Devata, partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP. She’ll be offering her expertise related to the changes and challenges CRAs face in our ever-evolving landscape as professional background screeners.
Pamela Devata is a labor and employment partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP in Chicago, IL, and leads Seyfarth’s nationwide Background Screening, Litigation, and Compliance Team. She’s a national authority and the firm’s go-to expert for all issues related to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), background screening compliance, use of criminal and credit history, and electronic signature issues, as well as online and manual employment applications.
For over twenty years, she has made regular appearances at Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) conferences as a keynote speaker and legal expert for our industry’s association.
A nationally recognized employment counselor, Pam has participated in numerous interviews, speeches, webinars, and trainings for employers on criminal history and credit checks. She has leveraged her niche area of expertise to create a thriving class action practice, where she represents employers, resellers, and consumer reporting agencies of background information on compliance requirements under FCRA and related state laws; develops procedures for appropriately handling high-volume national hiring needs; and regularly litigates these issues on a single-plaintiff and class-wide basis throughout the country.
Pam also testified before the EEOC at a Public Meeting regarding the use of credit checks in employment in Washington, D.C. She is a certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and was formerly an adjunct professor of legal writing at Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates in the weeks to come! We have so much to share as we gear up for another incredible event.
