Business torts cover wrongful acts that harm a business outside of a contract, including fraud, conversion, and interference with contractual relations.
Our team helps you evaluate claims, gather evidence, and choose the best path forward—negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
A business tort is a civil wrong that harms a business interest. Fraud involves intentional misrepresentation for gain; conversion is the improper taking or control of someone else’s property; and intentional interference disrupts a business relationship.
Typical elements include a protected business interest, wrongful conduct, causation, and damages. The process usually involves filing a complaint, gathering evidence through discovery, negotiating or mediating, and, if needed, going to trial.
This glossary defines common terms used in business litigation related to torts, fraud, and interference.
A civil wrong that harms another party and for which the law provides a remedy.
Intentional misrepresentation or deceit that causes a loss.
Wrongful acts that disrupt a party’s contractual relationship.
Unauthorized taking or control of someone else’s property.
Options range from direct negotiation and settlements to litigation in court. Each path has different implications for time, cost, control, and potential remedies.
If the facts establish a clear wrongful act and measurable losses, a focused claim or injunction may resolve the matter without a full lawsuit.
When only a specific element is in dispute, targeted legal action can save time and resources.

A business tort is a civil wrong that harms a business interest. Fraud involves intentional misrepresentation for gain; conversion is the improper taking or control of someone else’s property.
Fraud cases can take months to years, depending on evidence and court schedules. Early mediation can shorten timelines if both sides are willing.
Damages may include lost profits, harm to business relationships, and recovery of out-of-pocket costs. In some cases, punitive damages may be available depending on the conduct and jurisdiction.
