Business Torts

When greed and lies hit your business, we hit back.

We don’t bluff. We bring grit to business torts: complex claims that arise when someone damages your company through deception, betrayal, or sabotage. We represent people and small businesses that have been wronged by powerful players. If you’ve been hurt, we know how to make it right.

What is a business tort law?

A tort is a civil wrong that causes financial or reputational harm. Business torts fall under that — involving misconduct specifically aimed at harming businesses. That covers deceit, disloyalty, sabotage, and unlawful interference with your livelihood.

COMMON BUSINESS TORTS WE HANDLE

When someone lies, withholds the truth, or manipulates facts to harm your business, that is fraud. It can involve false promises, forged records, or deceptive transactions that cause financial loss. At Cheeley Law Group, we expose the lies, prove the deception, and hold the perpetrators accountable.

When someone entrusted with your assets, business, or decision-making authority betrays that trust, the damage can be devastating. Breach of fiduciary duty occurs when directors, officers, partners, or advisors act for their own benefit instead of yours. We uncover the betrayal, prove the duty was broken, and hold them accountable.

Some companies compete by breaking the rules — misleading customers, hiding risks, or engaging in illegal tactics that distort the marketplace. Georgia law protects businesses and consumers from these practices. We expose the deception, prove the harm, and make bad actors pay for the unfair advantage they tried to take.

When fraud and misconduct cross into organized schemes, victims can bring claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). These cases involve collusion, conspiracy, or systematic fraud designed to harm others. At Cheeley Law Group, we break down the scheme, trace the money, and pursue justice against everyone involved.

When competitors or third parties deliberately interfere with your contracts, partnerships, or future business opportunities, it is more than competition — it is unlawful. Tortious interference cases protect businesses from sabotage that destroys deals or disrupts growth. We prove the interference, show the financial harm, and fight to restore what you lost.
