Claims may arise from fraud, misrepresentation, intentional interference with contracts or business relationships, or unauthorized taking of property.
In this area, you pursue remedies for wrongful conduct that injures a business, including fraud, conversion, interference, and related torts. The law requires showing a duty, a breach, causation, and damages, and remedies may include damages, injunctions, and restitution.
To prove a business tort, you typically must show: a legal duty, breach of that duty, causation linking the conduct to the harm, and actual damages. The process includes filing a complaint, discovery, motion practice, settlement discussions, and, if necessary, trial.

A business tort is a wrongful act by a business or its agents that harms another business. Two common examples are fraud and interference with contractual relations. If you think you have a claim, contact our team for a no-obligation evaluation.
Damages in fraud cases are intended to restore the victim to the position they would have been in had the misrepresentation not occurred. This can include direct financial losses, lost profits, and, in some circumstances, additional penalties or restitution.
Conversion means the wrongful taking or use of someone else’s property, depriving the owner of its use. Claims focus on discontinuing the use of the property and recovering its value or return.
Intentional interference with a contract requires showing that a party knowingly disrupted a contract or business relationship and that the disruption caused damages. Proof typically involves demonstrating the existence of a contract or expectancy and the deliberate acts that caused its breach.
California statutes of limitations govern when you must file a business tort claim. Timing depends on the specific claim and facts, so prompt legal advice helps preserve your rights.
