Unfair Competition Claims in New Jersey and New York
At McDaniel & Park, P.C., we recognize that in the business world, there are times when a competitor, a disgruntled former employee or even a partner or co-owner of your business will engage in unscrupulous behavior in order to steal business, diminish your profits or inflate theirs. Our law firm holds such business professionals and companies accountable for behavior that is beyond what the marketplace will tolerate.
At the same time, we recognize that there are situations where your business is following all proper channels to develop your products, enhance client lists and increase revenue. Yet a competitor may assert illegitimate claims against your business — recognizing that the time and expense of litigation will ultimately harm your succeeding business.
Experienced Business Attorneys Prosecuting and Defending Against Claims of Unfair Competition
A business can spend the better half of a decade developing customer lists, developing and refining valuable products, acquiring important intellectual property rights and earning a sterling reputation for the products or services provided.
