The new requirements of Pennsylvania law that require disclosure of principal officers and at least one director, member or partner are separate from the federal Corporate Transparency Act. This Act requires that certain corporate entities disclose to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network their true owners and other personal identifying information in an effort to assist law enforcement in combatting money laundering as well as the use of shell companies to perpetuate fraud and other illicit activity. Unlike the Title 15 reporting requirements, which are accessible by the general public, personal identifying information reported under the Corporate Transparency Act is stored in a secure, non-public database. Reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act are set to go into effect January 1, 2024.

Limited Liability Companies
On November 3, 2022, House Bill 2057 was signed into law as Act 122, generating a number of changes to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, also referred to as Title 15 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. One of the major changes to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law is the implementation of a new annual reporting requirement for both domestic and foreign entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships, that are formed in Pennsylvania or that are qualified to do business in Pennsylvania. This new annual reporting requirement will result in the loss of anonymity for certain high-level individuals engaged in the operation of a business. Previous reporting requirements did not require disclosure of any individuals involved in the business with the exception of the incorporator, who was often a lawyer rather than any individuals involved in the new entity.
Lawsuits are stories, with a beginning, middle and end. In this session, we will discuss the tick-tock of an employment discrimination dispute, moving through a hypothetical claim from the filing of the administrative charge to a jury verdict – though most cases stop somewhere in between. We will provide strategies to minimize liability, increase the chances of early resolution, and if necessary, win on summary judgment or at trial.
