A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in the best interests of another party. It can apply to trustees, corporate officers, and agents who must avoid conflicts and self-dealing. The breach occurs when that duty is not honored.
Case duration varies with complexity, court calendars, and relief sought. Some matters resolve through early settlements, while others proceed to trial over months or years.
Remedies may include damages, restitution, injunctions, and equitable relief. The available remedies depend on the breached duty and the relief that best addresses the harm.
