The Ling Law Group team brings broad experience handling complex business tort matters for clients in Westpark and throughout California.
A business tort claim involves wrongful acts that cause financial harm to a business, such as fraud, misappropriation, or intentional interference with relationships.
In California, you may seek damages, restitution, and, in some cases, injunctive relief to stop ongoing harm.
Fraud includes knowingly making false representations to deceive, while conversion refers to improper possession or use of someone else’s property. Interference occurs when a third party’s actions disrupt a valid business relationship.
A successful claim typically requires showing duty, breach, causation, and damages, along with evidence of wrongful conduct, followed by investigation, pleadings, discovery, and, if needed, trial.

A business tort describes wrongful acts that cause economic harm. Fraud involves intentional misrepresentation; conversion covers the unauthorized control of another’s property. Conversion refers to the improper use or possession of someone else’s property, which can deprive the owner of its use.
Damages can include compensatory losses, restitution, and, in some cases, punitive damages depending on the conduct and statutes. Injunctive relief may also be available to stop ongoing wrongful activity.
Timelines vary based on case complexity, court schedules, and discovery needs. Some matters resolve quickly, while others may take longer if extensive evidence and motions are involved.
Settlement can occur at any stage, but litigation may be necessary to protect rights in certain situations. We outline options, assess risks, and work toward practical results.
Fraud requires a knowing misrepresentation with intent to deceive, while misrepresentation can be unintentional or negligent. The parties’ knowledge and intent impact the claim and remedies.
Conversion means taking, using, or controlling someone else’s property without permission, depriving the owner of its use or value. In business contexts, it can involve funds or assets.
Damages are typically proven with financial records, contracts, and evidence linking the loss to the wrongful act. Our team helps quantify and present these damages clearly.
Bring contracts, emails, invoices, financial records, relevant notices, and a timeline of events. Prepare questions and goals for the meeting as well.
