A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another’s best interests. In California, it can apply to corporate directors, officers, trustees, and agents who manage someone else’s assets or interests.
Breach occurs when a fiduciary acts contrary to the beneficiary’s interests, such as self-dealing or failure to disclose conflicts. Evidence may include contracts, emails, financial records, and testimony.
Remedies may include monetary damages, disgorgement of gains, injunctions, and equitable relief where appropriate. The amount and type depend on the harm and relation to the breach.
Timelines vary based on complexity and court schedules. Early resolution through negotiation is common, but some cases require formal litigation and discovery.
