Case Study 1: Tackling an Intricate Employment Law Case

In early 2023, Janet, the owner of a small business in Philadelphia, got into a dispute with a former employee over wage & hour issues. Not having extensive experience with federal and Pennsylvania employment law requirements, Janet turned to Ventus Legal for assistance.

Using guides and materials on wage & hour law and employment law best practices available through Ventus Legal, Janet quickly understood what her obligations were. She found step-by-step guidance on how to respond to an employee complaint, recordkeeping requirements, and mediation tactics. Helpful commentary from our lawyers about recent Pennsylvania workplace law changes helped her understand common pitfalls she could have avoided.

With up-to-date knowledge, Janet resolved the dispute quietly through mediation without expensive litigation. She instituted some new compliance procedures which led to an increase in morale at work and a decline of over 30% in HR-related incidents over the next six months. Janet now subscribes to our newsletter and frequently visits our business law section to keep abreast on legal developments.

Case Study 2: Assisting Law Students with Exams

Background: David, a second year student at Temple University, was having a difficult time making sense of the large amount of materials that he needed to review for his upcoming contracts exam. He was frustrated with the case law and legal theory and wanted to find clear, authoritative resources to help him make sense of some of the more difficult material.

How Ventus Legal Helped: David was introduced to our robust educational materials aimed at law students, such as high-level overviews, practical study guides, and examples. He was particularly excited about the interactive quizzes and recently added “Ask an Expert,” where faculty created content focused on techniques for taking his exams.

Outcome: David’s overall grades improved significantly, as his contracts exam moved from the 60th percentile to the 92nd percentile. He attributes Ventus Legal resources with making challenging subject matter understandable as well as helping to build his confidence. David continues to moderate a student study group in which members regularly reference Ventus Legal guides and news updates.

Case Study 3: Unraveling Intellectual Property Law for Business Owners

Background: Priya, a New Jersey-based tech startup founder, encountered intellectual property issues as she sought to launch a new software product. Not sure whether she needed to file for patent protection and how to register a trademark, she looked for reliable legal guidance on how to safeguard her innovations.

How Ventus Legal Helped: Priya turned to our articles on Ventus Legal covering intellectual property matters, the contents of which provided step-by-step instructions on filing for a patent, conducting a trademark search, and complying with U.S. law, among others. She downloaded our checklists and templates geared towards startups and attended one of our live webinars given by IP experts.

Outcome: Priya applied for a provisional patent and registered two brand-focused trademarks that covered the functionality of her software. Avoiding legal pitfalls, she received accolades from potential investors for being proactive in this area. Her company is now flourishing and she tells us that Ventus Legal continues to be an integral litigation partner in her new venture.

Case Study 4: Empowering Clients in Family Legal Matters

Background: Maria was a Philadelphia resident facing child custody and support proceedings after her divorce. The more she learned about the terminology and procedural requirements before child support, the more intimidated she became. She needed quick answers from objective sources.

How Ventus Legal Helped: Maria turned to the family law section of the Ventus Legal site. There she found plain-English guides; state-by-state resources pertaining to custody, visitation/caretime issues, and support calculation; and frequently asked questions. Our authored articles explained which documents would be necessary for representation at an appearance or support negotiation.

Outcome: Maria successfully represented herself during the mediation session and received a fair outcome regarding support and custody. She thanked us for giving her confidence in preparing and attending the sessions; she now volunteers with a local support group and recommends the Ventus Legal site to people in similar situations.

Case Study 5: Helping an Employer Navigate Changes in the Law

Background: A mid-sized Pennsylvania logistics company experienced new federal guidelines affecting its workforce in 2022. The company’s HR team realized it needed to learn about the compliance requirements quickly to stay current and avoid fines.

How Ventus Legal Helped: The company’s HR manager subscribed to the newsletter and utilized the real-time updates and practice area briefings on employment law. Various legal trend analyses and compliance checklists offered warning signs and practical guidance relevant to the employer.

Outcome: The company met the required change ahead of schedule and cleared a state labor audit without any violations. Employee satisfaction went up, and the HR team now leverages Ventus Legal’s offerings as part of its regular training program.
