A fiduciary owes duties of loyalty and care to beneficiaries or stakeholders. When those duties are breached, you may have grounds for a civil action in both trial and settlement contexts.
Causes of action typically involve misappropriation, conflicts of interest, self-dealing, or failure to disclose material information impacting the interests of the client.
Breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a person in a fiduciary position acts in a way that benefits themselves or others at the expense of the beneficiary, violating the duty of loyalty and care defined by law.
Effective fiduciary claims require establishing a fiduciary relationship, a breach of duty, resulting damages, and a causal link between the breach and the losses. Legal processes may include demand letters, discovery, settlement negotiations, mediation, and, if needed, trial.
