Key Areas of Practice:

Business Partnership Disputes (Business Divorces)

When partnerships or business relationships break down, it can lead to disruptive and costly disputes. Fox & Moghul has extensive experience in handling business divorces, whether they involve partnership disputes, shareholder disagreements, or the dissolution of LLCs. We focus on protecting our clients' financial interests while minimizing the disruption to their businesses. Whether you are facing a direct action or derivative lawsuit, our attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of Virginia business law, and we can help you navigate the complexities of these disputes.

Contract Actions

Contract disputes are at the heart of many business litigation cases. Fox & Moghul has successfully represented clients in a variety of contract actions, ranging from breach of contract claims to enforcement of non-compete agreements. We ensure that our clients' contracts are fully enforced, and we work to mitigate any potential liabilities that could arise from contract disputes.

Defamation

In today's business world, reputation is everything. Defamatory statements, whether they occur online, in the media, or in business settings, can have devastating effects on a company's operations. At Fox & Moghul, we aggressively pursue defamation claims to protect our clients from false and damaging statements. We also represent businesses and individuals facing defamation allegations, ensuring that they will have a robust defense against such claims.

Business Fraud

Business fraud involves deception or misrepresentation in business transactions, and it can lead to significant financial losses. Our attorneys have represented numerous clients in fraud lawsuits, recovering damages for victims of fraudulent schemes. We also defend businesses that have been wrongfully accused of fraud, ensuring that all legal avenues are explored to protect their interests. We can provide representation in complex fraud cases involving misrepresentation, omissions, and fraudulent inducements.

Business Conspiracy

Business conspiracy claims often arise when one party alleges that two or more parties conspired to harm their business interests. At Fox & Moghul, we have significant experience litigating business conspiracy cases, using Virginia's Business Conspiracy Act to recover damages for clients. These cases require careful strategic planning and aggressive representation, and our team has a track record of successfully handling these claims.

Fiduciary Duty Litigation

Officers, directors, and partners owe fiduciary duties to their businesses and shareholders. When these duties are breached—whether through self-dealing, conflicts of interest, or gross mismanagement—a business can suffer irreparable harm. Fox & Moghul is well-versed in handling complex fiduciary duty litigation, and we work to protect the interests of minority shareholders and businesses affected by fiduciary breaches.

Tortious Interference

Tortious interference claims arise when a third party intentionally disrupts an existing contract or business relationship. These claims can be complicated, requiring proof that the interference was intentional and without legal justification. At Fox & Moghul, we have successfully litigated tortious interference cases for businesses, recovering damages and protecting our clients' business relationships.

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforcing and defending non-compete agreements is a critical area of business litigation, particularly when key employees or executives leave to join competitors. At Fox & Moghul, we have a deep understanding of Virginia's laws surrounding non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. We aggressively pursue enforcement actions on behalf of our clients to prevent unfair competition, and we defend clients against overly broad or unreasonable non-compete clauses.

Injunctions and Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs)

In urgent business disputes, securing a temporary restraining order (TRO) or injunction can be crucial to prevent immediate harm to your business. Whether you need to protect trade secrets, enforce a non-compete clause, or prevent the sale of a business asset, Fox & Moghul has the experience and knowledge to seek emergency relief on your behalf. Our team has successfully obtained and defended against TROs in a variety of business litigation contexts.

Trade Secrets Litigation

Trade secrets are often among a company's most valuable assets. Protecting proprietary information, such as customer lists, business strategies, or intellectual property, is critical for maintaining a competitive edge. At Fox & Moghul, we help businesses enforce their rights under Virginia's Uniform Trade Secrets Act, aggressively pursuing claims against former employees, competitors, or business partners who have misappropriated trade secrets.
