A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another party’s best interests. When that duty is breached, remedies may include damages, disgorgement, or equitable relief.
In practice, fiduciary matters involve reviewing contracts, governance materials, communications, and financial records to determine how a breach occurred and what remedies are appropriate.
Fiduciary duties arise from positions of trust such as board roles or agent relationships. A breach occurs when someone places self interest ahead of the other party, harming the relationship or the business.
The core elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically starts with an initial consultation, case assessment, discovery, and resolution through negotiation, mediation, or court action.
