A fiduciary relationship requires loyalty, care, and good faith toward a beneficiary or company.
In business disputes, breaches can involve self dealing, conflicts of interest, or misuse of confidential information.

The core elements are a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duty, causation of harm, and resulting damages. The process includes investigation, pleadings, discovery, negotiation, and, if necessary, litigation.
