Re: slander
You would seem to possibly have numerous causes of action against the other party. Defamation, interference with prospective business relationships, interference with contracts.
The first thing that could possibly be done is attempting to obtain an injunction against the other side to prevent them from saying anything else derogatory. Second would be an action for damages.
If you would like to discuss this further, please call my office. (312) 236-9906.
