Description
Businesses expend extensive amounts of financial and professional resources to build strong relationships expecting to reap the benefits through increased revenue and business agreements. However, there is the risk that these commercial relationships and contracts will be unlawfully undermined by competitors or former employees, who may resort to improper tactics to upend deals or gain an unfair advantage for their own benefit.
One of the ways businesses can recover lost profits and other actual damages is to bring a claim for tortious interference against those interfering with their business dealings.
