Business torts include such claims as fraud, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with contract or prospective business relations, misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition, among others. Business torts are a common part of commercial disputes. Whether standing alone or combined with breach of contract claims, they add the risk that a party may be subject to punitive or other exceptional damages. The attorneys at Harris Sarratt & Hodges have considerable experience in prosecuting and defending these claims in an efficient and effective manner.
