Ling Law Group has represented CA-based businesses in San Bernardino County and beyond, handling complex tort and contract disputes, including fraud, conversion, and interference.
Business torts are wrongful acts that harm a company outside of a mere breach of contract, such as fraud, misappropriation, and improper interference.
We analyze facts, collect evidence, and outline remedies, from damages to injunctions, to help you decide the best path forward.
In California, a variety of tort theories protect a business’s assets, relationships, and contractual expectations when others act unlawfully.
Core elements typically include duty, breach, causation, and damages, along with proof of misappropriation, misrepresentation, or interference.
A concise glossary helps you understand the concepts used in these cases.
Fraud means intentional deception that results in financial or property losses.
Conversion is the unlawful and intentional control or use of someone else’s property.
Tortious interference occurs when a third party disrupts a valid contract, causing losses.
Damages refer to monetary compensation sought or awarded for proven losses.
While settlements or alternative dispute resolution can resolve some disputes, litigation may be necessary to obtain relief, protect business interests, and deter future misconduct.
For cases with plain liability and calculable losses, targeted remedies may be appropriate.

Fraud is a deliberate deception that results in financial or property losses. If proven, fraud claims may enable recovery of losses, restitution, and deterrence of similar conduct, depending on evidence and legal standards.
California imposes deadlines for filing fraud or tort claims. The exact period depends on the theory and facts. Missing deadlines can bar recovery, so early consultation helps determine applicable statutes of limitations and tolling opportunities.
Remedies for business torts include compensatory damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and in some cases punitive damages. Additionally, courts may order return of property or profits tied to the wrongful conduct.
Interference claims are often pursued when a third party disrupts a contract or business relationship. A lawyer can assess liability, identify liable parties, and map out remedies to protect ongoing relationships.
Bring contracts, correspondence, financial records, and any notices or complaints. Be ready to discuss timeline, goals, and any prior communications with the opposing side.
Damages in fraud and conversion cases are typically based on proven losses, including lost profits and out-of-pocket costs. Evidence of foreseeability and causation helps quantify damages and supports remedies.
Many disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or settlement agreements without trial. However, some matters require a court ruling to enforce remedies or deter wrongdoing.
Discovery involves requests for documents, interrogatories, and depositions to gather essential facts. We guide clients through discovery while protecting privilege and avoiding unnecessary exposures.
Punitive damages are possible in some cases, but they depend on the conduct, evidence, and legal standards. Your attorney will explain when this remedy might be available and how it affects strategy.
