Breach of fiduciary duty
A fiduciary duty is breached when a professional or authority does not act in the best interest of someone they have made a commitment to. A fiduciary has an ethical or legal relationship of trust. It requires extensive business litigation experience to understand and analyze complex disputes in business conflicts that arise due to a breach of fiduciary duty.
Litigation may include requests for immediate relief including pre-judgment remedies, expedited discovery, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders. Fiduciary disputes can be avoided through non-disclosure agreements, fiduciary agreements, corporate governance consulting, and internal corporate agreements.
