Business torts are wrongful acts that harm a business outside of contract, including fraud, misrepresentation, and interference with relationships.
The aim is to establish liability, recover damages, and, when appropriate, prevent further harm to your business operations.
In California, common business torts include fraud, misrepresentation, conversion, and tortious interference with contractual relations.
To succeed, a plaintiff generally must prove the defendant’s wrongful act, causation, and actual damages. The legal process typically includes pleadings, discovery, negotiation or mediation, and, if needed, trial.
