Protecting Your Business from Unfair and Deceptive Practices

In today’s competitive business environment, companies must safeguard themselves from unfair and deceptive practices that can harm their reputation and financial stability. Whether it’s fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract, or deceptive trade practices, businesses in Kansas City have legal options to fight back. At The Law Offices of Lance Loewenstein, P.C., we help businesses protect their interests and pursue legal remedies against unethical competitors.


Common Unfair and Deceptive Business Practices


Unethical business tactics can take many forms, including:

  • False Advertising – When a competitor misrepresents their products or services to gain an unfair advantage.
  • Fraudulent Misrepresentation – When another business provides false information that causes financial harm.
  • Breach of Contract – When an agreement is intentionally violated, resulting in losses.
  • Unfair Competition – Practices such as trademark infringement or stealing trade secrets.
  • Consumer Fraud – Engaging in deceptive tactics that mislead customers and negatively impact competitors.

Legal Protections for Businesses


Kansas and federal laws offer protection against deceptive business practices. The Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MMPA) is one such law that prohibits businesses from engaging in fraud, false advertising, and deceptive tactics. Additionally, businesses may have legal recourse under breach of contract claims, intellectual property laws, and unfair competition statutes.

  • Conducting thorough investigations to gather evidence of deceptive conduct.
