While there are many aspects of litigating and trying business torts cases that distinguish them from other types of cases (personal injury, medical malpractice, or intellectual property, for example), there are no “start-to-finish” guidebooks offering practical litigation advice unique to these cases. The ABA Section of Litigation’s Business Torts & Unfair Competition Committee developed this book as guidance on the nuances of taking business torts cases from investigation through trial. Views from seasoned litigators, consultants, and the bench offer valuable insight regardless of which side of the “v.” you find yourself on.

Business Torts: A Practical Guide to Litigation is meant to serve as a resource for practitioners—one that provides practical advice for each stage of a business torts case, from pre-litigation investigation to pleadings, motion practice, written discovery, depositions, summary judgment, trial preparation, and trial.
