Dallas Business Torts Lawyers
A business tort is a wrongful act and/or an illegal act that often involves fraud, unfair competition or breach of fiduciary duty. At Goldstein & Scopellite, PC, we have Dallas Business Torts lawyers who can resolve your case.
Unfair Business Practices and Wrongful Conduct
Some of the most common types of business torts that may initiate a legal dispute and provide a basis for suit or damages to be awarded include:
- Tortious interference by a previous employee: This occurs when an employee leaves a company and attempts to, or does, steal an existing client from that company. This may occur when a business competitor engages in unfair business practices and interferes with the business relationships your company has established with a client, a bank, a business or any other prospective business interest.
- Tortious interference of a contract: This occurs when a third party acts in a manner that prevents a party to a contract from performing, or otherwise meeting its obligations, under that contract.
- Breach of fiduciary duty: A fiduciary duty is a duty to act in the best interests of a beneficiary, a stockholder or a company. Partners, shareholders, officers, directors and others, who commit a breach of fiduciary duty, may be held liable for economic damages that they have caused.
- Unfair business practices: This may include unfair advertising, fraud, breach of a non-compete contract, negligent misrepresentation or other prohibited business practices.
- Defamation: False statements that damage the professional reputation of an individual or company. These statements may be oral (slander) or written (libel) statements communicated within a company or outside of a company, so long as they are communicated or “published” to a third party.
