How do you navigate an industry where lawsuits aren’t a matter of "if" but "when"?

How do you balance legal compliance with running a successful business? And what’s it like being one of the most recognized legal minds in background screening? In this episode, I sit down with Pam Devata, an equity partner at Seyfarth Shaw and a leading expert in background screening law. Pam shares how she found her way into this field, how the industry has transformed over the years, and why she believes in practical, risk-based legal advice. We also talk about the rise of FCRA litigation, regulatory changes, and the crucial role PBSA plays in shaping the industry. Plus, we get a glimpse into her life beyond law—her love for food, travel, and family. You won’t want to miss this insightful and engaging conversation!
