illegal commercial practices. Our seasoned team understands the inner workings of business practices and can determine if a business or individual was in the wrong.

Breach of Contract

A breach of contract means that the business or the customer failed to meet the terms of a written or oral contract that was agreed on beforehand, and cannot provide a viable excuse for breaching the contract. One reason for this is not being specific in the contract about the conditions of the agreement or using the wrong kind of vocabulary. If you feel you may be a victim of a breach of contract, or are being accused of breaching a contract, contact us at Hammond Law Firm and we’ll assist you in determining if the claims are true.

False Advertising

This topic represents clients who have been misled by a company or product being intentionally misrepresented or deceptive. This could negatively affect customer relations, including possible future customers, shareholders, and relations with other businesses if not resolved quickly. If a business was intentionally deceiving the customer, and the result had the potential to harm the customer or their assets, then there is grounds for a false advertising litigation.

Unfair Trade Practices

Unfair trade practices is exactly what it sounds like – trying to elevate your business through illegal practices such as defamation, wrongful appropriation of trademarks or trade secrets, false advertising (see above), boycotting, coercion and intimidation, or actively damaging the reputation of another business. This topic does not include businesses that have become successful naturally, but businesses or affiliates that are intentionally performing illegal actions to gain a leg up in an industry.
