Business torts refer to the area of law that involves a wide range of claims and disputes that can develop in business ownership, business transactions and business management. Specifically, business torts involve wrongdoings or misconduct that occur in a business relationship.  An individual or company engages in a business practice that is considered unethical, unjust or dishonest that results in an economic or business loss.

Our highly skilled and knowledgeable Philadelphia business litigation lawyers have represented clients needing legal assistance with the following types of business torts and business disputes:

• Fraud and Misrepresentation:  a business party or company intentionally misrepresents facts that cause harm to another business party or company.

• Interference with Contractual Relations:  a party is entitled to bring a claim against another party when they believe that the other party intentionally or negligently interfered with their ability to enter into a business relationship or contract with another leading to economic damages.

• False Advertising:  harm done to another person or entity from misleading, false or deceptive advertising.

• Breach of Fiduciary Duty:  a fiduciary duty is one in which a party has a legal obligation to act in another party’s best interest.  If a fiduciary duty is breached, legal consequences can result.  An example is the relationship that exists between an organization’s board members and that organization’s shareholders.

• Disparagement:  this type of business tort occurs when a party makes false statements in regards to the quality of another party’s goods or products.

• Unfair Competition:  a party or entity markets a product that is too strikingly similar to another party’s product.

• Intellectual Property:  business tort claims involving issues of copyright, patent or trademark infringement and trade secrets.

• Computer Torts:  another corporation or entity intentionally damages another party’s computer hardware or software leading to a business loss.

• Minority Shareholder Oppression:  a business’ majority or controlling shareholders use various methods in an attempt to freeze out or squeeze out a corporation’s minority shareholders such as withholding dividends, improperly terminating employment or benefits, relinquishing their decision making duties, failing to disclose corporate documents and records or creating a situation in which the minority shareholders are essentially forced to sell their corporate stock below the market value.
