Fraud and Misrepresentation Lawyers

Fraud and MisrepresentationRunning a successful business requires you to place your trust in others at some point or another. Often this trust is represented by a contract agreement. Unfortunately, there are times when individuals will misrepresent themselves or the products and services they offer. When this happens, your business may become involved in contract disputes, suffer losses, and compensation may need to be sought for fraud and misrepresentation.

Few acts in business can wreak havoc and cause financial woes like fraud and misrepresentation. Under the law, misrepresentation is defined as making false statements to another entity or person which results in the other party entering into a contract with the party making the statement.
Fraud falls under misrepresentation and consists of the following three elements:

  • The statement being made
  • The statement being directed towards the party that is suing
  • The statement which caused the party that is suing into a contract
