- Employment ContractYour job should not be put on the line because you stand up against discrimination or other types of illegal conduct in the workplace. Therefore, both U.S. and Ohio law forbids employers from retaliating against employees who engage in “protected activity.” A variety of activities are considered to be protected. Some examples are complaining about discrimination, filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or Ohio Civil Rights Commission, and testifying in an investigation into unlawful discrimination. In addition to firing an employee, retaliation by an employer can take many different forms, including negative job assignments, demotions and non-renewal of an employment contract.

- Non-compete AgreementContracts affect literally everyone and play a role in virtually every aspect of everyday life. If you own a house, you entered a contract to purchase it. If you rent an apartment, your lease is a contract. If you’ve ever borrowed money to buy a home or a car, those loan agreements are contracts. If you have a cellphone or a credit card, you have typically entered into a contract with the phone company or the credit card company. If you have a job, you may have entered into an employment agreement, a confidentiality agreement, a non-compete agreement or an arbitration agreement with your employer. These are all contracts. If you own or run a business, you have probably entered countless contracts with vendors, suppliers, investors or customers.
