Breach Of Fiduciary Duty Claims
A fiduciary duty includes the obligation to act in the best interest of a business or person. If the CEO of a large company negotiates a deal with a struggling friend that ends up causing significant losses and plummeting share prices, the company shareholders might pursue a breach of fiduciary duty claim to recover losses. An experienced civil litigation lawyer is needed in these situations to find solutions.

How Is A Fiduciary Duty Breached?
There are three main questions to answer:
- Did a fiduciary relationship exist at the time the dispute arose?
- What was the scope of the relationship and which duties were assigned in that capacity?
- Within the scope of the business relationship, were any of these duties breached?
Often these issues start to arise when a business is struggling. It becomes important to review whether actions were taken that were counter to the business’s best interests. This might happen if a partner takes an action that harms the partnership or maybe a board member used insider knowledge to profit personally.
Remedies exist, but vary based on the facts of the situation. Our lawyers are often able to negotiate a settlement, but will take a case to trial when necessary to obtain the best outcome.
