Business fraud and misrepresentations can take many forms. Businesses may commit fraud or make negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations about certain facts, which can cause damages to outside parties such as customers, vendors, and others.

Brick Business Law defended an accounting firm sued by clients seeking recovery of funds lost due to international bank wire fraud. Plaintiffs filed multiple claims attempting to impose liability on the accounting firm.
Legal Strategy

Outcome
The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claims with no payment, recovery, or settlement from our client.
Business representatives sometimes make fraudulent or negligent misrepresentations to their internal constituents, such as investors, partners, members, or employees. These statements can be highly damaging to the victim, resulting in damaged reputations, financial losses, or even the closure of the business. The circumstances of business fraud and misrepresentations are various, but they are generally defined the same way legally.
Fraud cases involve three factors:
One party has knowledge that a fact is false
This party then misrepresents the false information to a second party
The second party relies upon the falsely represented information to their detriment
When someone suffers damages as a result of relying on a fact that was knowingly misrepresented, there may be an actionable case of fraud. Likewise, if you have been accused of fraud, you may face intense investigations and rumors that can affect your company’s livelihood.
