Business Torts - Financial Loss.
Georgia Business Tort Litigation Attorneys.
A business tort may arise from an action in which one
business acted in a way that caused damage to another
business. This is not where one company was simply more
competitive, but where theft, misrepresentation or fraud
allows one company to gain an advantage. At the Howell
and Johnson Law Firm, we have handled hundreds of
business tort cases, including those involving the
following:
- Unfair competition, false advertising,
misrepresentation, trade secrets, intellectual property,
partnership disputes and real estate disputes
- Matters involving disputes between wholesalers and
retailers, insurers and reinsurers, and financial
institutions, including matters relating to banking
operations and loan participations
- Franchising, lender liability, consumer protection
disputes, bid disputes and environmental cases
When a business has suffered a financial loss due to the
conduct of another, it faces the dual task of
prosecuting legitimate business tort litigation claims
against the offending parties while still continuing its
usual business. A contingency arrangement with a law
firm enables a business to manage both tasks with
minimal disruption.
A contingency arrangement enables the company to shift
the risk, and the often considerable cost of prosecuting
claims against other parties, to the law firm. The
business is then free to commit its capital to the
continuing needs of the business.
We have been successful in recovering substantial funds
for such businesses, and through the course of our
business tort litigation the impact on their day-to-day
activities has remained low. Significant examples
include:
- A confidential recovery for a client in a Sears
franchise dispute
- A confidential recovery in a breach of contract
residential real estate transaction
If you or someone you know has suffered a
financial loss due to another proprietor we
