Fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in another party’s best interests with loyalty and care. In business, fiduciaries may include directors, officers, managers, trustees, or partners. When duties are breached, remedies may be sought through civil action or settlement.
Damages may include compensatory losses, profits gained by the fiduciary that should be disgorged, and, in some cases, equitable relief. Courts may order restitution to the harmed party and adjustments to prevent ongoing harm.
Timeline varies with complexity; some matters resolve in months, others extend longer. We provide a realistic plan and keep you informed about milestones and options.
