A fiduciary relationship requires trust and loyalty; when that duty is breached, legal remedies may be available.
In California, cases typically involve proving duty, breach, causation, and damages, with options for settlement or litigation.
Fiduciary duty is the legal obligation to act in another person or entity’s best interests. In business contexts, fiduciaries include officers, trustees, and managers who must avoid conflicts of interest and self-dealing. A breach occurs when that duty is violated to the detriment of the other party.
To prove a breach, you must typically show a fiduciary relationship existed, a duty was owed, the duty was breached, and damages resulted. The legal process may include filing a complaint, discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, trial.
Here are common terms you may encounter in a breach of fiduciary duty case.
