A business tort is a civil wrong that harms a company, such as fraud, misrepresentation, or interference with contracts. These claims allow a harmed party to seek compensation and, in some cases, remedies to stop ongoing harm. Understanding whether a conduct meets the legal standard is the first step in pursuing a claim.
In California, the statute of limitations for business torts varies by claim and typically spans several years; some claims may have shorter or longer timelines. An early consult helps identify deadlines and avoid waivers.
For an initial consultation, bring contracts, emails, invoices, notes about damages, and information about witnesses or documents. We review your materials and explain potential theories and next steps.
Mediation is a voluntary process aiming for a settlement with a neutral mediator; litigation or arbitration results in a binding decision by a court or arbitrator. Mediation can preserve relationships and often save time and costs when appropriate.
