Jane, a sales manager at TechCorp, leaves the company to start her own business. Shortly after, she contacts several of TechCorp's major clients, offering them better terms and highlighting her inside knowledge of TechCorp's operations. As a result, two of TechCorp's largest clients terminate their contracts with TechCorp and sign with Jane's new company. TechCorp decides to sue Jane for intentional interference with their business relations. Which of the following best supports TechCorp's claim?
Jane intentionally reached out to TechCorp's clients to persuade them to terminate their contracts and do business with her new company.
Jane failed to honor certain terms in her new contracts with former TechCorp clients.
Jane quit TechCorp to pursue a career in a different industry.
Jane used confidential information she obtained at TechCorp to improve her new business's services.
The correct answer identifies Jane's intentional actions to disrupt TechCorp's business relationships by targeting its clients with competitive offers. This demonstrates intentional interference designed to cause harm to TechCorp's business relations. The other options may relate to different aspects of business law but do not directly support a claim of intentional interference with business relations.
