# Barbara Hoey Quoted in *Law360* Article About New York’s Latest Harassment Law

 August 13, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partner and chair of the [labor and employment](/Our-Practices/Litigation-and-Investigations/Labor-and-Employment) practice group, [Barbara Hoey](/Our-People/Barbara-E-Hoey) was quoted in the August 12, 2019 *Law360* article, ​“Cuomo Signs Law Boosting Sexual Harassment Protections.”

On August 12, 2019, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law sweeping anti-sexual harassment legislation that makes it easier for workers to win discrimination suits by eliminating a restriction requiring that harassment be ​“severe or pervasive” to make it to court.  
Barbara told *Law360* that the law brings a ​“myriad of significant changes” requiring a ​“holistic approach” and were quoted encouraging employers to review“everything that might be impacted by the new law, including mandatory arbitration provisions, non-disclosure provisions, training and beyond.” She also cautioned that ​“Get it wrong and open the floodgates to a new set of claims in unchartered territory.”
