Our law firm routinely handles business fraud and unfair competition, including:

Increasingly, business torts involve Internet forums and business rating sites, social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and email or text messaging. On the one hand, the anonymity and chain reaction of these media can facilitate swift and widespread harm to a company. On the other hand, these electronic mediums commonly leave a trail of evidence that is fair game in court.
