Business torts like fraud, conversion, and interference involve unlawful acts that harm a company’s revenue, reputation, or contractual rights.
Resolving these disputes requires careful evidence collection, strong pleadings, and a strategic plan tailored to your unique circumstances in California.
Fraud is a false representation intended to mislead, while conversion involves the wrongful possession or control of someone else’s property. Interference occurs when a third party disrupts existing contracts or business relationships.
The core elements typically include duty, breach, causation, and damages. Litigation steps include complaint, discovery, motion practice, mediation, and if necessary, trial.
