A fiduciary duty arises when a person or entity is obligated to act in another party’s best interests. A breach occurs when that duty is violated, causing financial or other harm.
In California, duties can arise in roles such as trustees, corporate officers, partners, or agents. We help determine duties, establish breach, and pursue appropriate remedies.
A fiduciary duty requires loyalty, care, and good faith. When breached, you may seek damages, restitution, or injunctive relief depending on the circumstances and applicable law.
