​Fraud and Misrepresentation Attorney

What Is Fraud?

Fraud occurs when a person or business intentionally makes false statements or conceals important information to induce another party to act, resulting in financial harm or damages.

What Is Misrepresentation?

Misrepresentation involves false or inaccurate statements that another party relies upon, even if the person making the statement did not know the information was false at the time.

Fraud & Misrepresentation in Business Disputes

Fraud and misrepresentation claims often arise during business transactions, contract negotiations, ownership disputes, partnership disagreements, and the sale or purchase of a business.

Whether a valid claim exists depends on the specific facts, including what information was provided, what was known at the time, whether important information was withheld, and whether another party reasonably relied on those statements when making a business decision.

Common examples may include:

• False financial information provided during the sale of a business.

• Misrepresentations regarding assets, liabilities, or business operations.

• Concealment of material information during a transaction.

• False statements made to induce a party to enter into an agreement.

• Misrepresentations involving ownership interests, investments, or business opportunities.
