  • In the past several years, the New York City Commission on Human Rights has enacted several laws that have changed the legal landscape for hiring in New York City.  A panel of legal experts, including lawyers who represent plaintiffs and employers, in-house counsel, and an Assistant Commissioner of the New York City Commission on Human Rights will engage in a dynamic discussion about these new laws, from the recent ban on inquiring about an applicant’s salary history, to the latest Fair Chance Act rules, to new protected categories, such as caregiver status.
