Business Disputes Lawyer
Our legal team at Conley Griggs Partin LLP has focused our areas of expertise on representing our clients that have been significantly harmed by another. Not only do we champion individuals who have been harmed, but also businesses. Unfair, unethical and bad faith actions of a business or individual that causes economic harm to another may require legal intervention in the form of business torts to resolve the dispute.
“Business torts” encompasses a broad type of cases with this general similarity, a person or business has acted wrongfully and caused economic harm to another person or business. A primary example of this type of case is a “breach of fiduciary duty” case, in which a person or business owes a duty of utmost good faith to another person but has breached that duty by acting to harm the economic interests of another person. These kinds of cases can arise from partnerships (in which one partner acts wrongfully toward another), investment relationships (in which a corporation or broker has mishandled assets) or joint venture situations (in which two companies are working together for joint benefit, but one company acts wrongfully in that project).
Types of Business Torts
Business torts can also include basic fraud cases, in which a person has been intentionally induced to rely on false representations of another to their detriment. This is as well as cases in which a business has interfered with contracts between other businesses. Some of the business dispute cases we handle include:
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty
- Business Dissolutions
- Business Relations (Tortious Interference)
- Fraudulent Business Practices
- Joint Ventures
- Partnership Disputes
- Shareholder Disputes
