Keller Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and officers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout Keller and the greater Tarrant County area. These cases arise when an individual trusted with authority or control within a business acts in their own interest or fails to exercise the level of loyalty, honesty, and care that Texas law requires. Such conduct can undermine operations, disrupt partnerships, and cause significant financial loss.

 

Our Keller breach of fiduciary duty attorneys handle complex matters involving the diversion of company assets, undisclosed conflicts of interest, misuse of authority, and other forms of internal misconduct. Each case begins with a detailed evaluation of the underlying facts, an assessment of damages, and a focused litigation plan aimed at protecting your business and securing appropriate remedies.

How Fiduciary Duties Operate in Texas Businesses

A fiduciary duty exists when one party is legally obligated to act with good faith and in the best interests of another. In Texas, these duties commonly arise in relationships involving partners, managing members, directors, officers, and individuals with significant influence or decision-making authority.

A breach occurs when a fiduciary places personal interests ahead of the business, conceals material information, or fails to exercise proper judgment. Examples include:

  • Taking business opportunities that belong to the company
  • Misappropriating money or company property
  • Entering insider transactions without disclosure
  • Withholding financial or operational information
  • Making careless or uninformed decisions that weaken the company

To establish a claim, a plaintiff must show that a fiduciary relationship existed, that the duty was breached, and that the breach resulted in measurable damage. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Keller fiduciary duty attorneys use financial records, communications, and expert testimony to prove these essential elements.

Civil and Criminal Consequences of Fiduciary Misconduct

Most breach of fiduciary duty matters are addressed through civil litigation. However, if the conduct involves fraud, theft, embezzlement, or misapplication of fiduciary property, it may also result in criminal exposure under Texas law.

 

For example, a manager who manipulates financial reports or transfers company assets for personal use may face both civil claims and criminal investigation. Roquemore Skierski PLLC works with forensic accountants and investigators to manage risks and ensure evidence is preserved.

Legal Remedies Available in Texas

Texas law recognizes breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, giving courts broad authority to award damages and equitable relief. Remedies may include:

  • Compensation for lost profits or redirected opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits gained by the fiduciary
  • Injunctions to prevent repeated or ongoing misconduct
  • Recovery of attorney’s fees in certain circumstances

Where the breach involves intentional, reckless, or malicious conduct, courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Keller breach of fiduciary duty attorneys evaluate each case carefully to determine every remedy available.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

The primary duties include the duty of loyalty, which prohibits self-dealing and requires the fiduciary to act in the company’s best interests, and the duty of care, which requires informed, reasonable decision-making. Misuse of funds or failure to disclose conflicts can violate these duties.

Yes. Partners, shareholders, and members of closely held businesses may bring claims when another fiduciary diverts company assets, withholds information, or uses their authority unfairly. Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists Keller clients with evaluating, pursuing, and defending these claims.

Most claims must be filed within four years of when the breach occurred or when it should have been discovered. Because timing depends on the specific facts, early consultation with a Keller breach of fiduciary duty attorney is recommended.
