The tort of aiding and abetting common law fraud is often asserted when an advisor or consultant to a defendant is involved in a transaction in which plaintiff alleges the defendant committed fraud.

Such claims have been brought against a whole array of targets, including financial advisors, trustees, officers and directors and attorneys.
