Throughout the country, tortious interference is a common law tort allowing a claim for damages against a defendant who illegally interferes with a plaintiff’s contractual or business relationships.
These claims may be intentional or negligent. An intentional act of tortious interference requires proof that a defendant intended to cause harm to the plaintiff, or was aware that harm was a likely result of their actions. Negligent interference requires a plaintiff to prove a defendant owed them a duty of care and breached the duty, leading to quantifiable damages.

Mercantile law is more commonly known as trade law or commercial law—and it describes the body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales.

Business law is regulated by both Ohio law and federal law. The federal government primarily governs finance, workplace safety and employment issues, though state laws can differ slightly.
Non-compete disputes involve contracts in which former employees agree not to compete with an employer for a specified period of time. Most non-compete lawsuits involve former employees soliciting business from the employer’s customers and not disclosing confidential information.
