Florida Tortious Interference Claims

A competitor persuades your customer to break a contract, or a former partner poaches the relationships you built. We bring and defend tortious interference claims for Florida businesses.

Matters we handle

  • Interference with existing contracts
  • Interference with customer and business relationships
  • Poaching by former employees or partners
  • Claims tied to non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Temporary injunctions to stop ongoing interference
  • Defending competitors accused of interference
  • Damages for lost business
  • Related trade secret and unfair competition claims

Florida law at a glance

  • A claim generally requires a business relationship, the defendant’s knowledge of it, intentional and unjustified interference, and damage caused by the interference.
  • Florida courts protect some competition as justified, so the facts about how the relationship was lost matter.
  • These claims are generally subject to a four-year statute of limitations (section 95.11, Florida Statutes).

General information about Florida law, not legal advice about your situation. Deadlines and requirements depend on the facts and the documents involved.
