When Civil And Criminal Matters Converge
A typical claim for fraud, theft, embezzlement or conversion can become particularly challenging when there is or could be accompanying criminal litigation. Navigating and making complex business litigation decisions related to both cases, which can affect each other, often proves challenging. Additionally, state and government agencies also bring litigation on behalf of consumers or other victims of alleged criminal conduct committed by businesses which can have far-reaching consequences.
Victims of such crimes may be able to improve their own ability to recover by making strategic decisions related to reporting such crimes or related violations in conjunction with bringing a civil suit for damages. Similarly, businesses that are the subject of such litigation may be able to assert certain rights and arguments to prevent, minimize or defeat such claims. Given what is at stake in there cases, the importance of working with established and proven legal counsel cannot be overstated.
Types Of Damages Often Pursued
Civil remedies exist for criminal actions, meaning that claims such as RICO claims, theft of trade secrets, civil theft or other related claims may be brought against a business and such claims could be the grounds for significant damages awards, including punitive or exemplary damages and/or attorney’s fees awards. Business litigation related to criminal actions can also result in significant additional potential consequences for a business including injunctions, fines and dissociation of a businesses.
