Business tort claims arise when a party’s unlawful actions harm a company’s ability to operate or profit. Fraud, conversion, and interference with contractual or business relationships are among the core issues we address.
Our team explains the available remedies, the evidence required, and the steps from initial consultation through resolution.
A business tort is a wrongful act that harms a business, potentially entitling the injured party to damages. Common examples include fraud, conversion of property, and intentional interference with contractual or business relationships.
Elements typically include a duty, breach, causation, and damages, along with proper evidence collection, pleadings, discovery, settlement negotiations, and, if needed, trial or arbitration.
Key terms you may encounter include fraud, conversion, and interference. The glossary below defines these and related concepts.
Fraud involves intentional misrepresentation or deceit that causes financial loss to a business.
Conversion refers to the wrongful taking or control of a company’s property, resulting in damages to its owner.
This occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts an existing contract, business relationship, or expected economic benefit.
Remedies may include monetary damages, injunctive relief, and restitution where appropriate.
Depending on the case, options may include negotiation, settlement, mediation, or litigation. We help you weigh costs, time frames, and the likelihood of success for each path.
If the issue is straightforward and can be resolved with a focused claim or defense, a limited approach may minimize cost and delays while achieving a practical result.
