The New Year is less than 48 hours old, so is it too early to speculate on the course of business law in Tennessee this year?

Probably.

Still, we can look forward to developments in a number of areas.

First, with Obamacare set to reach full implementation in 2014, health laws will be high on the list to watch this year.

Second, with the national economy coming under an ever larger media microscope, one should expect that finance bills will be important this year.

One thing is for sure–there will be change. Laws will be enacted that will make life easier or harder for businesses in Tennessee (depending on the business and one’s perspective). Cases will be decided and rules and regulations will be promulgated.

Keep a wary eye out, and check back here often, as Tennessee business law developments are discussed and explained.

Happy New Year!
