We are one of the most active ABA committees, made up of experienced trial lawyers from all over the country. Our goal is to keep business litigators fully up to date in burgeoning business torts such as fiduciary duties, fraud, unfair trade practices, tortious interference, trademarks and trade secrets, remedies, and evidence, as well as technological issues and developments impacting our practice. We provide open access and networking with the best people in the field.

We regularly present excellent CLE programs, publish useful books and articles, hold substantive business meetings, and host the best social events (bar none). Our website provides case notes of recent litigation in business torts, an archive of past Business Torts Journal articles, and loads of other helpful information.

Do you want to network with the established up and comers of business tort litigation? Want to stay ahead of key developments? Want to be a key contributor in this community? Then join us.

Our most recent case notes address misappropriation of trade secrets, statutes of limitations, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty.

The Business Torts Committee is sponsoring four programs at the 2008 ABA Annual Meeting: The All New 2008 Litigation Quiz Show, Darth Vader v. Clarence Darrow: Choosing High Tech or Low Tech to Reach Your Jury, What Do You Mean I Can't Spy on the Board? Strategies for Conducting Effective (and Legal) Internal Investigations, and Texts, Bytes & Video Clips: Discovery & Trial in the Electronic Information Age. Check out these and all the other great presentations at the 2008 ABA Annual Meeting in New York, August 7–10.
