We pursue performance of insurance contracts when insurers improperly deny or delay coverage for legitimate business losses, including losses from fire, flood, theft, and other covered liabilities.
Predatory & Fraudulent Lending
We represent businesses that have suffered losses as a result of fraudulent or predatory lending practices.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
When corporate directors, officers, or partners act in their own interests at the expense of the organization, we pursue accountability and recovery on behalf of the business.
Malicious & Frivolous Litigation
We represent commercial clients targeted by bad-faith claims, including SLAPP actions and other litigation brought without legitimate legal basis.
Contract Fraud & Misrepresentation
In fraud allegations involving contract disputes, we pursue recovery of actual losses as well as damages that may include anticipated profits lost as a result of the fraudulent conduct.
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
Fraudulent misrepresentation is a distinct civil claim that arises when a party knowingly makes a false statement of material fact to induce another party to act, and that party suffers measurable loss as a result. Pennsylvania recognizes innocent, negligent, and fraudulent misrepresentation as separate theories, each carrying different remedies. The Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL) provides a statutory basis for certain fraud claims involving deceptive business practices, primarily in the context of consumer transactions. Where fraudulent misrepresentation overlaps with contract fraud, tort liability, or statutory violations, we build an integrated litigation strategy that addresses each applicable theory.
How Our Business Fraud Attorneys Can Help
- Investigation and analysis: We conduct investigations into fraud allegations, analyzing financial records, coordinating with forensic accountants, and developing the evidentiary record needed to support litigation or recovery.
- Litigation and defense: Whether your organization is pursuing a commercial fraud claim or defending against one, we build a strategy grounded in the facts and applicable law and advocate aggressively through every stage of the proceeding.
- Recovery of losses: We pursue civil fraud litigation to recover damages that may be available from responsible parties, including filing suit, seeking restitution, and coordinating with relevant authorities where appropriate.
- Compliance and fraud prevention: We counsel businesses on implementing internal controls and compliance programs designed to detect and deter fraudulent activity, including policy development, procedural frameworks, and staff training.
- Negotiation and settlement: When resolution outside of litigation serves your interests, we negotiate from a position of strength to pursue favorable outcomes through mediation or direct settlement.
Our attorneys have experience in areas that frequently intersect in complex business disputes, including fraud protection, real estate fraud, mortgage fraud, and broader commercial fraud matters. For businesses facing multifaceted fraud claims or defending against allegations with overlapping legal theories, we provide integrated representation that addresses every applicable angle.
