Did You Know?

A recent federal court ruling in the Southern District of New York found that a client’s communications with an artificial intelligence platform was not protected by attorney-client privilege or work-product protections.

The court reasoned that when a client shared information with an AI tool, it was disclosed to a third party, and no longer confidential. The confidentiality disclaimers of the AI platform were taken seriously in the analysis. In short: if attorney client communication is disclosed to a third party, the privilege is lost.

Practical takeaway: Speak with counsel before entering legal information into AI tools.

Virginia employers should start preparing now for sweeping employment law changes taking effect between 2026 and 2029.

A new Stein Sperling blog breaks down the major updates employers need to know, including increases to Virginia’s minimum wage, expanded paid sick leave, a new statewide paid family and medical leave program, salary history restrictions and pay transparency requirements, significant limits on non-compete agreements, a health care worker non-compete ban, and new overtime protections for domestic workers.

With compliance deadlines rolling out over several years, now is the time for employers to review policies, update agreements, assess payroll and benefits systems, and train hiring managers and supervisors.

Read the full article (https://bit.ly/4doKo3T) on Stein Sperling’s website to learn what these changes mean for your business and how to plan ahead.
