New laws are always being implemented across the United States. This includes measures to increase minimum wages, protect animals and improve police accountability. In addition, some of these laws can help attorneys better serve their clients.
A lot of these changes are based on what is known as law new, which is a term used to describe the idea of providing legal services in ways that are different from those of traditional law practice. This is a concept that many lawyers are embracing in recent years.
The idea behind this is to offer a new way of doing business, offering services that are more focused on process and less reliant on technology. This allows firms to make use of new methods in an attempt to generate more revenue and increase client satisfaction.
These new methods are often designed to be incorporated into existing areas of the firm’s practice, or they can also be a stand alone form of legal service that is separate from a firm’s normal legal offerings. The key is to understand the advantages and benefits of embracing this type of legal service, which can help to boost the overall profitability of a firm.
Whether it’s a new service that’s been developed by a firm or one that’s been implemented to be used independently, the fact is that law new is an area of practice that is going to see huge growth in the coming years. For that reason, it’s something that every attorney should be aware of.
Carlos’ Law
This bill would make it a crime for any corporation to negligently, recklessly or intentionally cause the death or serious physical injury of a worker at a construction site in New York City. The legislation is named after Carlos Moncayo, a 22-year-old construction worker who died on the job in 2015.
Extending Safe Time for Sexual Assault Victims and Their Family Members
This legislation will allow victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking to take time off from work to recover without fear of reprisal or retaliation. This is a big step in the fight against these types of crimes, and it can benefit anyone who’s ever been a victim of these kinds of abuses.
Requiring Data Breach Notifications
This local law will require agencies to notify affected people about data breaches within 72 hours of learning that the information is in danger of being breached. This will ensure that people can protect themselves, their families and their personal information.
It will also allow the City’s Chief Privacy Officer and its Cyber Command to coordinate with other agencies on a case-by-case basis, when it deems necessary, to respond to the disclosure of private identifying information.
The law also requires that any agency that suffers a breach disclose this information to the City’s Department of Consumer Affairs. This will enable the Department to recover restitution on behalf of affected consumers and workers.
There are a variety of other legal new laws in the works, including a number that will make it more difficult for a firm to sell their business to another company. These are all laws that can have a major impact on the way that a law firm operates, so it’s important for lawyers to be aware of them and what they can mean for their businesses.
