COMMERCIAL TORTS - FRAUD DEFENSE & PROSECUTION

A tort is a civil wrong against another (other than a breach of contract) for which a party seeks damages. A commercial tort is a tort committed in a business setting, typically involving one company causing financial harm to another. Examples of commercial torts include fraud, interference with a contract or a business relationship, breach of fiduciary duty, misuse of intellectual property and antitrust violations. Unfortunately, in the commercial setting, fraud can occur. Fraud charges implicate one of the most important assets a business or a person can have: a reputation for honesty and fair dealing. The law firm of Ossinsky & Cathcart, P.A believes that individuals and businesses who suffer significant financial losses as a result of unscrupulous business practices deserve full and fair compensation. Our practice includes the defense and prosecution of commercial matters ranging from contractual disputes to business torts in the Orlando, Florida area.
