Commercial Torts

A "commercial tort" is a wrongful act involving a victim that is either an "organization" (rather than an individual), or an individual who suffered non-personal damage while conducting business. This broad category includes interference with contract or breach of contract, misuse of intellectual property, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, antitrust claims, and many other aspects of business law. Pursuing a claim for commercial tort can be a highly complicated and time-consuming affair. Frequently, large volumes of paperwork must be sifted for evidence while under time pressure to assemble a case within legal time limits.

Business relationships are unique, and so winning a lawsuit for a commercial tort will depend on making the nature of the relationship and how it was violated clear to a jury.
