Business Torts in San Diego

Advocating Your Company's Rights

You may have a claim for damages if another business or entity caused your company to suffer loss through negligence or knowing malice—even if you have not had direct contact with the offender in the first place.

These wrongdoings are known as business torts. Examples may include the following:

  • Abuse of process
  • Antitrust violations
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Corporate espionage
  • Equity stripping schemes
  • Fraud
  • Minority owner squeeze-outs / freeze-outs
  • Misrepresentation
  • Nondisclosure
  • Theft / embezzlement
  • Trade secret misappropriation
  • Unfair business practices
  • Unfair competition
