Strategic Legal Representation for Business Disputes, Misconduct, and Economic Harm
When business relationships break down or competition crosses the line, legal action may be necessary to protect your company’s reputation, assets, and bottom line. At Williford Law, we represent individuals, entrepreneurs, and companies across [City] and throughout Texas in a wide range of business-related claims and torts — from interference and fraud to misappropriation and breach of fiduciary duty.
We don’t just understand business. We understand how to litigate business disputes when informal resolution fails.
What Are Business Torts?
Business torts are wrongful acts, outside of contract breaches, that cause economic harm to a company or individual. These torts often involve deception, unfair competition, or interference with existing business relationships.
Common Business Torts We Handle:
| Tort | Description |
| Fraud & Misrepresentation | False statements made to induce contracts, partnerships, or investments |
| Tortious Interference | Third-party disruption of valid contracts or business relationships |
| Breach of Fiduciary Duty | A partner, agent, or executive putting personal interest above their legal duty |
| Business Defamation | False and damaging statements that harm a business’s reputation |
| Misappropriation of Trade Secrets | Theft or misuse of proprietary information, client lists, or data |
| Unfair Competition | Deceptive or unethical practices used to gain business advantage |
| Conversion or Civil Theft | Wrongful taking or retention of business property, funds, or assets |
We assess the full scope of damage, identify all liable parties, and aggressively pursue financial and injunctive relief.
Who Might Be Liable in Business Tort Cases?
Business-related torts often involve:
- Former employees violating non-compete or confidentiality agreements
- Competitors using misleading advertising or defamation
- Partners misappropriating funds, contracts, or clients
