New Law For Law Firms
New law is a term that refers to the idea of delivering legal services in entirely new ways. It can mean anything from working with underserved communities to coming up with innovative strategies to reach clients in a way that wasn’t possible in the past.
The practice of new law is an area that many law firms are now exploring. It’s one that can provide a firm with a new source of revenue and a whole new way to do business.
Whether it’s through working with underserved communities, focusing on process or finding innovative ways to offer legal help to clients, the idea of new law is something that every law firm should be familiar with. It’s a concept that can have major impact on the future of a law firm and it’s an area that deserves a great deal of attention and planning from all those who are working in this field.
New laws are often a result of the need to address specific issues that the country faces. They can be as simple as making changes to how abortions are performed or as complex as police accountability and cutting or increasing taxes.
Laws related to these issues can make a huge difference in the lives of people across the country and the world. They can also affect the lives of businesses and the people who work within them.
Abortion restrictions in New Hampshire and California, police reform in Illinois, Oregon and North Carolina and minimum wage increases in some states are just a few of the laws that are taking effect on Saturday, January 1, 2022. These laws address some of the most contentious and divisive issues in the United States today.
Carlos’ Law
The new law named after Carlos Moncayo, who died in a tragic workplace accident on a construction site in 2015, makes it a criminal offense for corporations to negligently, recklessly or intentionally cause the death or serious physical injury of workers at their sites. It also creates greater accountability for companies that violate worker safety laws and protects victims of these crimes from retaliation by the corporation’s management.
Paid Safe Leave
A new law in New York City expands the law regarding paid sick leave to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking survivors as well as their family members. The law requires employers who employ five or more individuals to give their employees at least a certain amount of paid time off.
On-call scheduling
A ban on on-call scheduling for retail employees is also part of the new law. This means that if an employer wants an employee to report to work, the employer must contact the employee and let them know about the schedule. The employee must be available to the employer at that time.
Street Vendors
A new law in Dyker Heights prohibits street vending on certain streets bounded by 10th Avenue, 86th Street and 13th Avenue from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Day. The prohibition is effective from 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 am the following day.
