Welcome to the home web page of the Business Litigation Committee of the Torts and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS), a section of the American Bar Association.   The BLC exists to provide a forum for discussion and evaluation of issues relating to business torts, which can include, to name just a few, the theft of trade secrets, the breach of fiduciary duties, violation of covenants not to compete and solicit, and infringement of intellectual property rights.   On an annual basis, the BLC makes a detailed presentation of a particular hot issue relating to business torts at the ABA's annual meeting; the presentation is open to all members of the ABA, and CLE credit is typically available to those attending.   Please click on the "News/Events" link to find out about upcoming programs being sponsored by the BLC. On a daily basis, the leadership and members of the BLC are immersed in representing clients in business tort matters of all kinds; this committee serves most importantly as a resource for those practitioners. Through the BLC newsletters, annual survey of important cases, program materials, and this web site, the committee strives to provide practitioners with a sound and current foundation in the developing law of business torts.
