Business Torts


Reputation, customer goodwill, and relationships with business partners; these are the intangible assets that are the foundation of a business' long-term success. The law protects these assets from:

Fraudulent misrepresentation. A lie by omission is still a lie. The courts recognize that a failure to disclose relevant information is a crime, but how do you prove intent to deceive and foreknowledge? Our attorneys engage in legal research and investigations to address these questions.

Contractual interference. Contractual relationships are meant to be binding. So, what do you do if your circumstances change when a third party interferes to prevent you from entering into or fulfilling the contract? Our attorneys help you confront these concerns in a court of law.

Unfair competition. In an open market, competition is inevitable. Yet, when cost cutting or misappropriation of trade secrets point to unfair business practices, what are your legal options? Speak to our lawyers for the answers to these, and other, questions.

Case Study: Strawberry Grower

The firm represented a strawberry grower in his claim that a pest control advisor had negligently failed to properly monitor and treat the grower's crop which was thereafter significantly injured by predatory mites. This case was ultimately settled in the client's favor for an amount of money unprecedented in Monterey County pest control litigation.



Case Study: Seed Development Corporation

The firm represented a large agribusiness entity in federal court in connection with a dispute with a competitor firm over alleged breaches of a settlement agreement.
