Practitioners will no longer need to apologise to their estate planning clients regarding the form of power of attorney required throughout the State of New York. The statutory form has been reworked – in the author’s view, this follows years of frustration for attorneys and their clients alike.

New York State is considering legislation that would implement the Covered Agreements on insurance regulation between the US and the EU and the UK, respectively (the Covered Agreements). However, the legislation does not contain the reciprocity language required by the Covered Agreements, apparently leaving this for regulation in the discretion of the New York Superintendent of Financial Services (the state’s insurance regulator). This may leave the legislation vulnerable to federal pre-emption.
While lawyers will adapt their working methods and use new technologies, they will continue to consider themselves as advocates of those who need them and as guardians of the rule of law as an overarching principle of freedom and democracy. This will not apply, on an algorithm, be it as intelligent as it may be. Bars should, therefore, actively participate in the regulation of AI being applied in the areas of advocacy. Acknowledging the increasing importance of AI in modern society, and the expected benefits when used at the service of the legal profession, key questions need to be discussed when drafting a new framework on AI.

As regulators in various jurisdictions continue to grapple with how and whether alternative business structures for delivery of legal services should be permitted, one solution in three Canadian provinces and one US state (so far) has been a form of pilot project, or "Sandbox". A Sandbox provides a limited exemption from the ordinary prohibitions on non-lawyer ownership and delivery but is it a solution? Is private equity investment an option, even with guardrails? Do ethical rules serve to protect the guild or consumers? This panel will explore the business and regulatory aspects of North American and other experiments and how they might impact integration and engagement of firms internationally.

Interview with Scott Hemphill, Professor of Law, New York University School of Law.
Efforts to innovate and re-imagine the delivery of legal services have taken a new turn, one that includes permitting alternative business structures and professionals other than lawyers delivering legal services direct to consumers. In a growing number of jurisdictions, regulators and the organized bar have begun implementing limited, supervised testing of new methods of delivery via a policy tool called a regulatory sandbox.

An overview of periods of limitation application to artworks transactions in France, Hungary, Italy and New York
Traditionally, law firms were owned and invested in by lawyers to ensure that the firm remained independent and unbiased. However, this meant firms were restricted to the amount the owners could afford to invest into it. Since the Legal Services Act came into force in 2007 in the UK, law firms are now able to operate as Alternative Business Structures (ABS). Most notably, ABS’s are eligible to receive funding from external sources and be managed by non-solicitors. They’re also able to provide several services under one brand name – including non-legal services. In recent discussions, we are discovering that mainly common law firms are thinking about the possibilities and opportunities given by ABS. But where are the civil law firms? May they lose market shares and clients in their own countries when foreign law firms from common law jurisdictions offer services under the ABS umbrella internationally? Do clients interpret ABS as a sign of unreliability, although there are already plenty of professionals working in traditional law firms that are not legally fully qualified yet, as, for example, paralegals? What about initiatives in the Common Market and International Trade Agreements that may be capable to change the professional lives of lawyers in civil law countries (and not only there…)? We will talk with lawyers, policy makers and legal tech providers from civil and common law jurisdictions, to understand where the legal profession stands today and how it will flow tomorrow in the international legal market on ABS.
