Business Litigation & Lawsuits
A large number of cases in the PA court system involve business disputes. While Pennsylvania is considered an "at-will" employment state, federal and state laws prohibit employers from discriminating based on one's age, race, color, national origin, or religion. Erie County also has its own human relations ordinance which prohibits discrimination for those reasons, and more. Additionally, retaliatory treatment for asserting a claim based on the above areas is prohibited. From debt collection and employment matters to contract issues and shareholder disputes, our firm relies on its unique experience of both business transactional and litigation work to achieve positive results without excessive expenses.
Because no two legal situations are the same, it is imperative to choose an experienced lawyer who understands the ramifications of your case. The attorneys at Rust Belt Law have represented employees and employers both in many legal matters related to PA and Federal employment law, and understand that employment relationships are important.
