Plano Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Navigating Breaches of Fiduciary Duty in Plano, Texas

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, corporate officers, and shareholders in breach of fiduciary duty matters throughout Plano and Collin County. These disputes often arise when a trusted individual places personal gain ahead of their obligations to the business or fails to act with the care, loyalty, and integrity that Texas law demands.

 

Our Plano breach of fiduciary duty attorneys have significant experience litigating complex internal business conflicts involving self-dealing, diversion of funds, misuse of assets, and corporate mismanagement. Each case begins with a thorough investigation of the facts, an evaluation of financial exposure, and a focused litigation plan designed to safeguard your position and pursue appropriate remedies.

Defining a Breach of Fiduciary Duty in Texas

A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation of trust that requires one person to act in good faith and in the best interests of another. In a business setting, fiduciary duties typically exist among partners, managing members, corporate directors and officers, majority shareholders, and certain agents who hold authority or control.

 

When a fiduciary uses their position to benefit themselves or neglects their duty of care, they may be liable for breach of fiduciary duty. Common examples include:

 

  • Diverting business opportunities or client relationships for personal benefit
  • Misappropriating company funds or proprietary information
  • Concealing conflicts of interest or engaging in undisclosed insider transactions
  • Withholding financial information from business partners or shareholders
  • Making negligent or reckless management decisions that harm the business

To prove a breach, the claimant must show that a fiduciary relationship existed, that the duty was breached, and that damages resulted. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Plano breach of fiduciary duty lawyers are skilled at demonstrating these elements through precise financial analysis, document review, and testimony from qualified experts.

Civil and Criminal Aspects of a Breach of Fiduciary Duty

In most business settings, a breach of fiduciary duty is treated as a civil claim rather than a criminal charge. However, the same conduct may result in criminal penalties if it also involves theft, embezzlement, or fraudulent behavior.

 

For example, if a company executive misuses investor funds or manipulates financial statements for personal advantage, that misconduct may support both civil and criminal proceedings. The attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC have experience addressing such dual exposures and work with forensic accountants and investigators to protect client interests in both forums.

Classifying and Remedying a Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Texas courts recognize breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, meaning that the injured party may seek damages or equitable relief through the civil courts. Remedies in these cases can include:

 

  • Recovery of lost profits or diverted business opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits obtained through wrongful conduct
  • Establishment of a constructive trust over misused assets
  • Injunctions to prevent continued or future violations
  • Attorney’s fees and other litigation costs where permitted by law

Because fiduciary breaches often involve intentional or reckless conduct, Texas juries can also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Plano breach of fiduciary duty attorneys are experienced in quantifying damages, tracing financial transactions, and pursuing every available form of relief to restore what was lost.
