Not every wrong done to a business involves a broken contract. Some of the most damaging conduct falls under business torts: fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with contracts or business relationships, unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation. These claims can arise between business partners, competitors, vendors, employees, and other parties.

Business tort cases often carry substantial financial stakes and require careful strategy from the outset. The factual disputes are typically layered and complex, the discovery process is extensive, and the defense will fight hard to minimize exposure. These cases reward firms that prepare thoroughly and try cases well.
