Business torts are wrongs that occur both within companies and between businesses. They may include breaches of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, interference with business or contractual relations, breaches of non-competition agreements, fraud, negligent misrepresentations, violations of the state's consumer protection law, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process.

B&M's trial team has years of experience successfully trying these types of business disputes. We possess the acumen, intellect and analytical skills necessary to distill complex business concepts, combined with a breadth of experience that many small firms lack. Simultaneously, we readily provide the personal attention and cost-effective strategies that larger firms are unwilling and/or unable to match.

In order to maximize each case's settlement potential and cost-effectiveness, B&M's trial team aggressively and shrewdly prepares every case for trial. B&M attorneys are well-versed in negotiation and all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. While B&M frequently achieves positive results through these avenues, if and when settlement talks break down, we are ready and willing to try the case, whether it be before a judge or a jury.

Representative cases include:

• Successfully prosecuting a misappropriation of trade secrets, interference with contractual relations and breach of fiduciary duty action against a former employee of a national real estate corporation.
  
  
• Successfully prosecuting a civil conspiracy and breach of contract action against a group of former real estate agents on behalf of a family-owned real estate business.
  
  
• Successfully defending a salad dressing manufacturer against claims of misappropriation of trade secrets brought by a competitor.
