An Atlanta intentional interference with contract attorney can help a small business realize the benefits of its contract rights. A business has as much right to the benefits of its contracts as it does to the physical property that it owns; interfering with a contract is akin to theft or trespass. For over a hundred years, courts have recognized that even if one is not a party to a contract, he can still be held liable if he induces one of the parties to breach the contract, thereby harming the other party's right to performance of the contract. This is known as intentional interference with contract, and an experienced Atlanta contract interference attorney can help your business recover what it has lost because of the illegal actions of a third party.

       A similar action can arise when there exists no specific contract that is breached, but instead a third party damages an established economic relationship between two companies. If two businesses have a history of continuous and prosperous dealings with one another in goodwill, this is a protected right, and if a third party intentionally acts unfairly and unjustly to damage this relationship, that third party can be held liable for interference with a prospective economic relationship.

       If your business's economic relationships have been harmed by a third party, an attorney with specialization in economic relationships is essential for evaluating what you may be entitled to. In addition to putting your business in the position that it would have been had the contract or relationship been fulfilled, tortious interference often allows for further damages beyond those of a breach of contract. These may include harm to reputation, emotional distress, other consequential damages, and even punitive damages.
