A fiduciary duty requires loyalty, care, and avoidance of conflicts for those in positions of trust, including directors, officers, and managers.
In California, fiduciaries owe duties to the company, its shareholders, and other stakeholders, and breach can lead to liability for losses.
Fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act in good faith and in the best interests of the principal, with honesty and loyalty guiding every decision.
The core elements are the existence of a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duty, causation, and damages, followed by steps such as discovery, negotiation, or court proceedings to obtain relief.
Key terms to understand when pursuing a breach of fiduciary duty claim are defined below.
An obligation to act with loyalty and care for the interests of another party.
A failure to uphold fiduciary duties, which may lead to liability.
Compensation for losses resulting from a breach.
A court order to stop ongoing conduct or require restoration of losses.
