We persuaded the Utah Supreme Court to reverse 32 years of precedent in holding that, under Utah law, a tortious interference claim requires a plaintiff to prove that the defendant used improper means (i.e., slander) to disrupt its business relationships and that an improper motive (i.e., malice) alone is not sufficient.

Reversing precedent
Our client was sued for tortious interference after making embarrassing, but true, revelations about plaintiffs to their current and prospective business associates.
