What Constitutes A Fiduciary Breach?
A fiduciary breach happens when someone in a position of trust fails to act in your best interest. This duty can arise in many professional and business relationships. When that trust is broken, the results can be financial losses, damaged reputations or lost opportunities. Common breaches include:
- Self-dealing
- Undisclosed conflicts of interest
- Misuse of funds
For example, a business partner might put personal gain ahead of company interests. A trustee could mismanage assets meant for a beneficiary. An agent might hide important facts about a real estate deal. Each breach is unique, but the harm is real. We use our practical approach to untangle these complex situations and pursue justice for you.
