McKinney Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Roquemore Skierski represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and company officers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout McKinney and Collin County. These cases often involve situations where a trusted individual, such as a partner or director, puts personal benefit ahead of the business or fails to act with the honesty, loyalty, or care required under Texas law.

 

Our McKinney breach of fiduciary duty lawyers have extensive experience handling complex commercial disputes involving allegations of self-dealing, misappropriation of assets, and corporate mismanagement. We combine practical business insight with courtroom skill to investigate the facts, evaluate the financial impact, and build strategies that protect your interests and restore what has been lost.

Understanding a Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Texas law imposes fiduciary obligations on individuals who occupy positions of trust and influence within a business. These duties include the duty of loyalty, the duty of care, and the duty to act in good faith. They apply to managing members, directors, majority shareholders, trustees, and agents who hold decision-making power.

 

A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when someone in that position acts against the best interests of the business or those they owe the duty to. Examples include:

 

  • Using confidential information for personal advantage

  • Diverting business opportunities to another venture

  • Failing to disclose conflicts of interest or insider transactions

  • Concealing key information from other stakeholders

  • Recklessly mismanaging company resources

Proving a breach requires showing that a fiduciary relationship existed, that the duty was violated, and that damages occurred. Roquemore Skierski’s McKinney breach of fiduciary duty attorneys are experienced in proving these claims through careful financial review, document analysis, and witness examination.

Is Breach of Fiduciary Duty a Crime in Texas?

Generally, breach of fiduciary duty is a civil matter rather than a criminal one. However, certain conduct that also involves theft, fraud, or misapplication of fiduciary property can lead to criminal prosecution under Texas law.

 

For example, an executive who transfers company funds for personal use or falsifies accounting records may face both civil and criminal consequences. Roquemore Skierski’s attorneys understand these overlaps and work closely with forensic experts to identify evidence and manage exposure in dual civil-criminal cases.

Is Breach of Fiduciary Duty a Tort?

Yes. Texas classifies breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, which allows the injured party to recover financial and equitable remedies. Potential remedies include:

 

  • Monetary compensation for business losses and diverted opportunities

  • Disgorgement of profits obtained through wrongdoing

  • Constructive trust over misused funds or property

  • Injunctions to prevent ongoing misconduct

  • Attorney’s fees and related court costs when allowed by law

If the breach involved intentional or reckless behavior, Texas courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski’s McKinney breach of fiduciary duty lawyers pursue every available avenue for recovery and accountability.
