• Business Disputes
  Secured transactions and negotiable instruments are two of the most important areas of commercial and business law our corporate transactional lawyers handle at Omni Legal Group.

• Business Transactions
  Much of commercial law relies on the 1958 Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the set of laws that governs all commercial transactions in the United States that is not a federal law, but has uniform adoption by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands.

• Unfair Competition
  Business torts or economic torts are kinds of wrongful acts people commit against business entities. They may be intentional or could be the result of negligence or recklessness. Business torts typically result in some kind of financial loss. Types of business torts business attorneys handle may include tortious interference with contract or business relations, restraint of trade, theft of trade secrets, fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation, trade libel, commercial disparagement, injurious falsehood, unfair competition, and conspiracy.
• Antitrust
  Statutory antitrust law in California is found under California Business and Professions Code § 16600. It consists of the Cartwright Act, the Unfair Practices Act (“UPA”), and the Unfair Competition Act (“UCL”), as well as many other statutory restrictions on covenants not to compete. The Cartwright Act prohibits trusts, generally defined as a combination of capital, skill, or acts by two or more persons to create or carry out restrictions in trade or commerce, and also prohibits sales or leases of products on the condition that the purchaser not deal in the goods of a competitor where the effect is to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in any line of commerce. The UPA prohibits sales below cost, locality discrimination, and secret rebates or unearned discounts which injure competition. The UCL prohibits any unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business act or practice, as well as deceptive or misleading advertising.

Employment Law

• Wrongful Termination
  The most common kinds of employment disputes a business dispute lawyer handles are wrongful termination claims in which an employee claims their termination was for an illegal reason such as discrimination or retaliation, wage disputes in which employees argue they did not receive proper compensation for their work, discrimination and harassment claims, or severance agreements in which employees expect compensation as part of their departures from companies.
