BUSINESS TORTS
The general body of law known as "tort" addresses and provides remedies for civil wrongs not arising from contractual or statutory obligations. Examples of well-known torts include negligence, trespass, and assault. A distinct subcategory of tort law claims deal with civil wrongs directed at a person's business interests, and are often called "business torts" or "commercial torts." As a number of recent opinions from the Supreme Court of Virginia have made clear, the stakes are often extraordinarily high in such cases. The lawyers of Cook Kitts & Francuzenko, PLLC have litigated a wide variety of business tort claims on behalf of both employers and employees, including among others breach of fiduciary duty, common-law conspiracy, tortious interference with a contractual expectancy, defamation, and fraud in the inducement.
