Conspiracy
Under
the law of Virginia, it is illegal for two or more persons to
unite for the purpose of causing injury to another in his reputation,
trade, business or profession. This law is a powerful tool in
preventing former employees and /or competitors from working
in concert to damage a company's standing in the market by,
among other things, stealing trade secrets, violating restrictive
covenants or improperly soliciting customers. Under Virginia
statute, violations are punishable by an award of treble damages
and attorneys fees.
Our attorneys are experienced in counseling our clients on identifying
and pursuing co-conspirators in actions that have injured their
companies or businesses. We also defend our clients should they
be charged with conspiracy to commit intentional business torts.
