At Cambria LLP, we help clients navigate partnership disputes with a focus on protecting their interests, preserving professional relationships, and finding effective solutions.

• Breach of Fiduciary Duty. Allegations that one partner has acted against the partnership's interests or engaged in self-serving behaviour.
• Mismanagement or Failure to Fulfill Responsibilities. Conflicts over unequal workloads or perceived mismanagement lead to tensions among partners.

Business Torts

Business torts are wrongful acts committed by or against a business that cause financial harm or damage business relationships. These cases may involve misrepresentation, contract interference, defamation, or other harmful actions that impact a company's operations or reputation. At Cambria LLP, we help businesses address business torts by assessing the harm, pursuing compensation, and taking steps to prevent further damage.

Common Types of Business Torts

• Fraud and Misrepresentation. False statements or deceit that cause financial harm, often in the context of a transaction or partnership.
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty. When a person in a position of trust, such as a director or executive, acts in their interest rather than the company's.
• Interference with Contractual Relations. When a third party intentionally disrupts an existing contract, causing financial or reputational harm.
• Commercial Defamation (Trade Libel). False statements that damage a company’s reputation, leading to lost business or diminished goodwill.

Our Business Tort Services Include

• Assessment of Financial and Reputational Harm. We evaluate the extent of harm caused by the business tort and advise on potential legal remedies.
• Evidence Gathering and Witness Testimony. We collect documentation, witness statements, and other evidence to support your case.
• Negotiation and Settlement Efforts. We attempt to resolve disputes through negotiation, seeking compensation and protective measures against further harm.
• Court Representation if Required. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we provide assertive representation in court to protect your interests and pursue damages.

Types of Remedies in Business Litigation

Business litigation may result in various remedies, depending on the nature of the dispute and the extent of harm caused. At Cambria LLP, we work to secure the best possible outcome for our clients, whether through financial compensation, court orders, or alternative dispute resolution methods.

Common Remedies in Business Litigation

• Damages for Financial Losses. Monetary compensation for losses caused by the dispute, including lost revenue, reputational harm, or opportunity costs.
• Injunctions. Court orders prevent a party from taking specific actions, such as using trade secrets, soliciting clients, or further damaging the business.
• Rescission of Contracts. Cancellation of contracts if there was fraud, misrepresentation, or other wrongful conduct, restoring both parties to their original positions.
• Specific Performance. A court order requires the defendant to fulfill their contractual obligations if monetary compensation is insufficient.
