Contract Disputes
Business relationships depend on clear agreements, but disputes over contract interpretation and performance arise regularly in Dallas's competitive commercial environment.
We represent clients in breach of contract claims involving:
- Service agreements and vendor relationships
- Purchase contracts and sales agreements
- Partnership and joint venture agreements
- Employment and non-compete contracts
- Lease agreements and real estate transactions
Our work includes analyzing contract language, identifying breaches, and pursuing remedies such as damages, specific performance, or termination. When terms are ambiguous or obligations are disputed, proper interpretation is crucial. We advocate for readings that reflect our clients’ understanding and the parties’ course of dealing.
Fraud and Misrepresentation Claims
Business transactions sometimes involve false statements or concealed information that induce one party to enter an agreement they otherwise would have avoided. We represent businesses pursuing claims for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, and fraudulent inducement when they've been deceived into contracts or business relationships based on false information.
These cases require showing that the defendant knowingly made false statements of material fact, intended to induce reliance, and caused financial harm as a result. We work with clients to document the misrepresentations, prove reliance, and establish the damages suffered. Whether the fraud involves inflated projections, concealed liabilities, or false promises, we build strong cases to hold wrongdoers accountable.
Tortious Interference
Competitors and other third parties sometimes improperly interfere with existing business relationships, causing economic harm. We represent clients in tortious interference claims when outside parties intentionally disrupt contracts or business relationships. These cases often involve former employees violating non-competes, competitors inducing contract breaches, or partners undermining prospective opportunities.
Tortious interference claims require showing that the defendant knew about the existing relationship, intentionally interfered with it, and caused actual damages. We advocate for businesses whose relationships and opportunities have been damaged by wrongful interference.
Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) provides remedies for businesses that have been harmed by false, misleading, or deceptive business practices. While the DTPA primarily protects consumers, certain provisions apply to business-to-business transactions, particularly when one party has significantly greater bargaining power or sophistication. We handle DTPA claims for Dallas businesses that have been victims of deceptive practices, pursuing damages and other remedies available under the statute.
Leaving a Business or Partnership
Business divorces (when partners or co-owners need to separate) often involve complex disputes over valuation, ownership rights, and future obligations. We represent Dallas business owners navigating departures from partnerships, closely held corporations, and LLC arrangements.
These matters may involve:
- Buyout negotiations and valuation disputes
- Disagreements over ownership percentages
- Breaches of fiduciary duty claims
- Non-compete and non-solicitation obligations
- Division of business assets and client relationships
Our firm works to protect our clients' interests while helping them transition to their next business venture. Positive reviews from previous clients speak volumes about our firm’s commitment to aggressive representation.
