Business Torts/Litigation
Like individuals, businesses can suffer economic injuries due to the actions -- or inactions -- of others. The extent of the harm, as in all cases, depends on the circumstances. But all too often, it can be severe, even threatening the survival of the business -- and the future of its owners, shareholders, and employees.
Just as the law protects people, it protects businesses and their investors, too -- when they know when, and how, to bring the proper action. Some of the most common business-related legal claims include:
- Breach of contract
- Partnership disputes
- Fraud
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty (when a company's board and officers fail to act according to required standards, jeopardizing the health of the business and the investment of shareholders)
- Interference with business relationships (including contracts)
- Breach of employee non-disclosure and non-compete agreements
- False advertising
- Unfair competition and business practices
- Loss of business opportunities
At Mary Alexander & Associates, we don't just understand the rules and nuances of business litigation, having protected, and vindicated, the rights of our clients for over more than a quarter of a century. We understand how to work with small businesses that may not have the deep pockets to take on the larger enterprises that have injured them. That's why we always work on a contingent-fee basis: Our clients pay us only if we prevail in the courtroom, or reach a settlement at the negotiation table. Our expenses, too, are only payable when a recovery is obtained. And that enables plaintiffs to enjoy what is, perhaps, the most important right of all: the ability to fight back.
