  • Fact Sheet: Policy Opportunities to Expand Equitable Access to Telehealth across New York State

    Background - Telehealth utilization spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitated by state and federal policy change through the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declaration. Use has tapered off from the height of the pandemic, but telehealth is still used more widely than pre￾pandemic and has become an integral component of care delivery, particularly for behavioral health. The PHE illuminated the benefits of telehealth in expanding access to care. For many, telehealth offers a convenient, high-quality, and accessible alternative to traditional care, especially for patients who have childcare or work obligations, live in communities that lack transportation options, or require accessible care due to disability. However, barriers remain that limit the potential of telehealth for patients, such as lack of affordable broadband service and digital literacy gaps, and for the providers that serve them, such as disparate payment rates and licensure challenges.

  • When the guardian ad litem “representing” the yet-to-come-into-existence beneficiaries of a trust is nonfeasant or malfeasant

    Does a court-appointed GAL in a trust matter owe fiduciary duties to the parties to the trust relationship who have yet to come into existence, e.g., the settlor’s future great grandchildren (hereinafter the “non-existent beneficiaries”)? A sine qua non of a fiduciary relationship is accountability. Can there ever be accountability on the part of a GAL when it comes to defending via advocacy the current contingent equitable property rights of non-existent beneficiaries when the court ignores or abets the GAL’s nonfeasance or malfeasance?

  • The Practical NLRB Advisor: Spring 2024

    The Spring 2024 edition of the Advisor is a compilation of good and bad news for employers. On the good news side, we discuss several current challenges to administrative agency authority in general, and the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) authority in particular. On the bad news side, we document a small part of the aggressive agenda of the current NLRB. From attempting to administratively impose “card check” to dramatically altering business-to-business relationships, and from finding “protected activity” in even the most attenuated circumstances to rendering the reversal of precedent an everyday occurrence, the current Board majority and its general counsel have been unequaled in their approach.
