Breach of Fiduciary Duty Attorney
Fiduciary relationships are incredibly important to the success of a business. A fiduciary duty is basically a duty of loyalty, care, disclosure, or confidentiality that a person owes to another person or the business. Employees, executives, owners, and directors can all have fiduciary responsibilities to each other and/or the business. For instance, partners owe each other a duty of loyalty to each other and a duty to operate the business in good faith and fair dealing. Similarly, an employee may have a fiduciary duty of confidentiality under a non-compete agreement.
If there is a breach of fiduciary duty, significant damage can be caused to the business and other parties. Disputes involving allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty are often complex and emotionally intense given the personal and business relationship between the parties. As such, it is important to hire a business litigation attorney who understands these complex issues and will manage the case with integrity and discretion, while still fighting to protect your legal interests.
