Types Of Business And Financial Fraud
Fraud in the commercial setting can take many forms. Our team regularly handles matters involving:
- Embezzlement and misappropriation of assets: Internal theft or diversion of company funds by employees, partners or trusted insiders
- Breach of fiduciary duty: Corporate officers, directors or financial advisers acting against the best interests of a business or client
- Securities fraud: Material misstatements or omissions tied to the purchase or sale of securities, including insider trading and misleading disclosures
- Investment fraud: Ponzi or pyramid schemes that conceal financial instability behind promises of high returns
- Contract fraud: Deceptive inducement or misrepresentation in commercial agreements
- Accounting fraud and financial statement manipulation: Altered records designed to mislead lenders, investors or regulators
- Bankruptcy fraud: Concealment of assets or false statements in insolvency proceedings
- Insurance fraud involving business policies: Inflated or deceptive claims under commercial coverage
- Cyber fraud and data breach related fraud: Technology-driven schemes targeting corporate systems
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A: Conduct that misleads or harms businesses or consumers
These matters often involve overlapping legal theories and significant financial documentation. A business fraud lawyer must analyze the full record and identify both liability exposure and potential counterclaims.
Chapter 93A And Massachusetts Business Claims
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A provides a statutory framework for unfair and deceptive practices. Claims under this statute may allow for enhanced damages when misconduct is proven. Mr. Neelon and our team evaluate whether Chapter 93A applies and integrate it into a broader litigation strategy when appropriate.
