     Business Fraud &

     Misrepresentation Claims

 

Aggressive Legal Protection Against Deception, Financial Harm & Corporate Misconduct

Fraud is one of the most serious threats a business can face. Whether committed by an employee, partner, vendor, competitor, or another company, fraudulent conduct can cause devastating financial loss, reputational damage, and long-term operational disruption. At Unified Attorney Group, we aggressively investigate and litigate business fraud and misrepresentation claims, ensuring that wrongdoers are held accountable and your business is fully protected.

Fraud cases require a law firm capable of conducting strategic investigation, analyzing financial and contractual evidence, and developing a compelling litigation strategy. We combine legal precision with real-world business insight to build strong, fact-driven claims that maximize your recovery.

✔ Intentional Misrepresentation & Fraudulent Inducement

When a party intentionally lies, conceals facts, or provides false information to get your business to enter a contract or transaction, that conduct can give rise to a powerful fraud claim.

Common examples include:

• False statements made during negotiations

• Misrepresented financial statements or revenue

• Concealed liabilities or operational issues

• Promises made with no intent to perform

• Deceptive investment or partnership proposals

• Misrepresented qualifications, capabilities, or resources

• Fraudulent claims during business acquisitions

We pursue rescission of contracts, restitution, punitive damages, and all available remedies.

✔ Negligent Misrepresentation

Not all fraud involves intentional deceit. When a party carelessly provides false information that your business relies upon, they may be liable for negligent misrepresentation.

Examples include:

• Incorrect sales data or performance metrics

• Inaccurate financial disclosures

• Faulty projections or estimates

• Careless or incomplete information given during negotiations

• Failure to verify facts before making statements

We determine whether the misinformation caused financial harm and aggressively pursue compensation.

✔ Fraudulent Concealment

Fraud doesn’t always involve what is said—sometimes it's about what is hidden. Intentional nondisclosure of important facts is a powerful basis for legal action.

We litigate concealment cases involving:

• Hidden debts or liabilities

• Concealed defects in products, property, or equipment

• Withheld customer loss or churn information

• Concealed lawsuits, regulatory problems, or compliance issues

• Failing to disclose risks that materially affect a business deal

We uncover the truth and hold deceptive parties accountable.

✔ Conversion, Embezzlement & Corporate Theft

Fraud often involves the theft or misuse of business property, funds, or confidential information.

We represent clients in cases involving:

• Employee theft or embezzlement

• Misuse of corporate accounts or credit

• Diversion of funds to personal accounts

• Unauthorized transfer of assets or inventory

• Misappropriation of business opportunities

• Theft of proprietary information or client lists

We seek full financial recovery, injunctive relief, and—where applicable—punitive damages.

✔ Document Forgery, Fake Contracts & Falsified Records

Businesses can suffer major losses from forged signatures, falsified accounting, or manipulated records.

We handle claims involving:

• Forged contracts or approvals

• Altered invoices or financial documents

• Falsified timesheets, receipts, or performance logs

• Manipulated accounting records

• Fake investment agreements

• Fraudulent loan or credit documents

We work with forensic accountants, investigators, and expert witnesses to prove the fraud.

✔ Deceptive Business Practices (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200)

California’s Unfair Competition Law protects businesses from unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices by competitors.

We litigate cases involving:

• False advertising

• Undercutting through illegal conduct

• Stealing clients through deception

• Competitive manipulation

• Fraudulent representations in commerce

Remedies may include restitution, injunctions, and attorney’s fees.

✔ Fraud in Mergers, Acquisitions & Investment Transactions

Fraud in business acquisitions or investments can lead to catastrophic losses. We investigate and litigate M&A fraud involving:

• Manipulated financial statements

• Concealed liabilities or litigation

• Misrepresented revenue, assets, or customer base

• Fake projections or valuations

• Misleading due diligence disclosures

Our goal is to restore the value you were promised—or unwind the deal entirely.

✔ Remedies & Relief in Fraud Cases

Fraud claims often allow for powerful remedies beyond contract damages.

We pursue:

• Compensatory damages

• Punitive damages for intentional fraud

• Rescission of contracts

• Restitution and disgorgement

• Injunctions to stop ongoing harm

• Asset freezes

• Attorney’s fees where available

• Pre-judgment interest

We focus on maximum recovery and long-term protection of your business.
