The new year brought with it some major changes in the way that people in New York will live and work. New laws went into effect as of midnight to start 2024, addressing issues such as worker rights, the minimum wage and public safety for college students.

One area of law that’s seeing huge growth is “New Law.” While the term may sound a little bit abstract, it’s essentially referring to legal practices that are utilizing techniques or leveraging technology in ways that haven’t been used before. In addition to providing a new way of conducting business, these strategies are also helping law firms boost revenue and improve their overall client satisfaction.

In some cases, this involves working with underserved communities to make sure they have access to the legal services that they need. In other cases, it’s finding ways to provide legal services that would have been impossible or impractical in the past due to costs or technological limitations.

A good example is incorporating the use of artificial intelligence into legal research. This can help make searches much faster and easier, which will result in greater efficiency for law firms. Another area that’s growing rapidly is the use of drones to conduct legal research. These machines can be deployed to quickly survey a property or crime scene to gather valuable information that would otherwise take much more time and money to collect by hand.

For victims of crime, there’s a new law that’s making it easier for them to access the funds they need to get their lives back on track after suffering through a horrific incident. The law, which is named after victim Matthew Horan, allows local pharmacies and health care providers to give out fentanyl and drug adulterant testing supplies to victims who need them.

There’s also a new law that’s requiring City agencies to provide employees and job applicants with notice regarding federal and State student loan forgiveness programs. In addition, it requires the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to establish an outreach program to help those affected by the closures of local businesses. Finally, the new law requires City agencies to disclose any security breaches that involve personal identifying information. This includes a requirement that such disclosures be made to the City’s Chief Privacy Officer, the Office of Cyber Command and the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. This is to ensure that such breaches are addressed as quickly as possible.
