This service covers claims that arise when a business’s rights or property are harmed by deception, unlawful asset control, or interference with contracts and relationships.
Cases often require proving intent, damages, and causation, along with careful handling of confidential information and trade secrets.
Business torts include wrongful acts such as fraud, conversion, and interference with contractual relations that cause financial harm beyond a breach of contract.
A typical case involves investigating conduct, identifying damages, gathering evidence, filing pleadings, pursuing discovery, negotiating settlements, and, when needed, trial or arbitration to recover losses and protect business interests.
