Business Fraud and Business Tort Claims on Contingency

When another business lies to you, interferes with your deals or hides behind a shell company, we go after the money on contingency, including from the people responsible.

Fraud and business tort claims we take on contingency

  • Fraud and fraudulent inducement: you were persuaded to sign or pay based on false statements

  • Piercing the corporate veil: holding owners personally liable when a company was used to commit a wrong

  • Fraudulent transfers: assets moved out of reach to avoid paying you

  • Tortious interference with your contracts or business relationships

  • Unfair competition and misuse of confidential business information

  • Conversion and misappropriation of funds

A recent result

After two years of litigation in the Southern District of New York, the firm obtained a consensual judgment for a publicly traded client after Senior Judge Jed Rakoff denied the adversaries’ motion to dismiss fraud and veil-piercing claims against the individual owner of the contracting company.

Why contingency

Where the claim is strong and there is a realistic path to collection, we can take the case on contingency: we are paid a percentage of what we recover, and no attorney’s fee is owed if there is no recovery.

Act early

Fraud and business tort claims are subject to filing deadlines, and assets can disappear while you wait, so it pays to get advice early.
