Business Relations (Tortious Interference) Lawyer

There are tough competitors in the business world, and not all businesses compete in an ethical or lawful manner. Tortious interference in business relations can occur, impacting a business’ reputation and bottom line. When a third party interferes with a business relationship between two entities, causing financial harm, they may be sued for tortious interference for damages in civil court.

What Is Tortious Interference?

Business relationships, with or without contracts, are an essential element of any business. Agreements generally are mutually beneficial. However, if one entity breaches the contract, it can cause harm to the other party. In tortious interference, a third party outside the business relationship puts in motion actions to cause one party to break their alliance with the other, usually for the third party’s gain. To prove this in a tortious interference case against the third party, it is necessary to prove:

The plaintiff had a contract or agreement with the second party
The defendant willfully interfered with that relationship
The interference caused a break in the relationship/contract
Due to the result of the interference, the plaintiff incurred injuries or damages

Tortious interference can be any unlawful tampering with a business relationship, but it is easier to prove when an actual contract exists. For example, if the third party makes false claims about the plaintiff to persuade the second party to break their contract with the plaintiff, and it results in monetary damages, this is tortious interference. In civil court, the plaintiff can seek compensation to recover current and future monetary losses that have been caused by the defendant in the case. In some instances, punitive damages for malicious or criminal actions may be awarded.

If you have experienced a business relationship that has been harmed by tortious interference by a third party, contact our team at Conley Griggs Partin LLP. We can investigate the matter, and if there is evidence of interference that caused financial harm, we can pursue compensation for your losses.

Bruce Millar The Millar Law Firm Atlanta, GA

As an Atlanta Attorney I have known Cale Conley personally for nearly 20 years. I first heard about Cale through other lawyers, who talked about his remarkable skill and great results as a trial attorney. When I finally had the chance to refer a case to Cale and work with him as a colleague, I was blown away by the level of his professionalism, knowledge and skill. Over the past few years I have referred several clients with large and complex cases to Cale and his firm and have been extremely impressed with the results he has obtained! In my opinion, Cale is one of the best Attorneys in the United States. Not just in Atlanta or Georgia, but anywhere. I am totally confident in referring any case or client to him. Not only is he a great attorney, he and his firm and partners take good care of clients and care deeply about them. If I could give Cale and his firm more than 5-Stars I would.

I had the pleasure of trying a very complicated products liability case with Cale Conley and Davis Popper. They and their entire office are fantastic, and I could not recommend them more highly. The entire process, from the time that we brought them in to work with us, through the course of the case and trial, was seamless. Cale, Richard, Rance, and Davis are some of the finest trial lawyers in the Country, and I look forward to working with them on future cases.
