Emerging Issues in Commercial Law
It`s no wonder, then, that the introduction of innovative hiring and retention strategies tops the list of emerging trends for 2022. M&R has already caused a stir in this category with its recent announcement that made headlines about employee compensation. Given our mission that employees view us not only as an arbitrary place to practice law, but also as a law firm where careers are built and passions realized, we have significantly revised our pay scale upwards, making M&R employees the highest paid in the legal industry from 2022. As I approach 2022, I have identified five emerging trends in the legal industry that will shape law firm operations, recruitment and client experience in the new year.

Lawyers who sign up for the bill are able to easily identify not only legal concerns, but also broader business issues, meaning that the dollars spent on the legal department can actually benefit the company`s goals.
As COVID-19 vaccines become more widespread, employers are seeking additional guidance on the legality of vaccination, obtaining proof of vaccination, and dealings with employees who might object to vaccination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has recently offered advice on these issues, but employers are expected to take adverse employment action if an employee rejects the vaccine. Given the volatility of global markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is reasonable to expect an influx of civil lawsuits based at least on contractual disputes, insurance coverage and employment issues. If you need help with litigation, hiring an experienced lawyer you trust can be beneficial in guiding you on the way forward. The legal landscape is constantly changing as new laws are passed or existing laws are interpreted or applied differently.

When you do business, you can`t help but negotiate with lawyers. You can let your interactions with lawyers frustrate you, or you can learn how lawyers think in order to better manage them. Emerging Issues in Business Law introduces business students to the fundamentals of legal analysis by focusing on current legal issues of particular interest to business. Students become familiar with the substantive principles of law and leave the course with the ability to recognize legal issues, discuss them intelligently, and understand why lawyers do not seem to be able to give a simple answer. The course uses lectures to create a common knowledge base. It is primarily discussion-based and uses a question-and-answer format to involve students in the legal analysis process. Cambridge Analytica`s use of Facebook user data – and how it may have influenced the last US election – has once again raised the question of how well our data is protected online.
