Maryland Tortious Interference Lawyer

You have a right to engage in your lawful business, with customers who make it profitable. Your competitors do too, but they do not have a right to interfere unfairly. The competition should be based on the quality of the products and services you offer, and your business practices.

Tortious interference involves either:

• A competitor slandering you and harming your business, or
• A competitor inducing someone to breach a contract with you

Tortious Interference With Contractual Relations

Your competitor may have induced a party to breach a contract with you by offering similar goods at a lower price, or different or better conditions. They may have driven customers away or made threats of one kind or another. The wrongdoer may have somehow made it impossible for your contracting partner to perform on the contract. Stealing your customer lists can also be considered unfair interference.

But contracts should be reliable. You may have a cause of action against the party who breached the contract with you. You also have grounds to sue the party who induced the breach.

Slander or Libel

If a party printed falsehoods about you or verbally lied about your products, services, business reputation or other matter harming a business relationship, they have committed a tort. A tort is not a crime, but rather a civil wrong. They may be liable for compensation to you.
