Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and corporate officers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout Allen and Collin County. These disputes often develop when an individual entrusted with authority within a company acts in a manner that benefits themselves at the expense of the business or fails to uphold the level of care, loyalty, and transparency required under Texas law. Such conduct can disrupt operations, strain ownership relationships, and create significant financial exposure.

 

Our Allen breach of fiduciary duty attorneys handle complex business disputes involving misuse of company assets, undisclosed conflicts, diversion of opportunities, and failures in corporate oversight. Each matter is approached through a structured analysis of the facts, a review of financial impact, and a litigation strategy focused on protecting the business and pursuing appropriate remedies.

Fiduciary Duties and Their Role in Business Relationships

A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation that requires one party to act in the best interests of another. In Texas business settings, these duties commonly apply to partners, managing members, corporate directors, officers, majority shareholders, and individuals with decision-making authority. These duties include loyalty, care, and full disclosure.

 

A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a fiduciary places personal interests ahead of those they serve, fails to disclose material information, or neglects the responsibilities associated with their role. Examples include:

 

  • Diverting company opportunities for personal use
  • Misusing funds or confidential business information
  • Engaging in transactions that benefit the fiduciary without disclosure
  • Withholding important financial or operational details
  • Making uninformed or negligent decisions that harm the business

 

To establish a claim, the plaintiff must demonstrate the existence of a fiduciary relationship, a breach of that duty, and resulting damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Allen breach of fiduciary duty lawyers rely on financial records, internal communications, and expert analysis to develop these claims.

When Fiduciary Breaches Involve Criminal Conduct

Most breach of fiduciary duty claims are addressed through civil litigation, but certain conduct may also give rise to criminal liability. If the actions involve theft, fraud, embezzlement, or misapplication of fiduciary property, criminal statutes may apply under Texas law.

 

For example, a company officer who manipulates financial data or transfers funds for personal use could face both civil claims and criminal investigation. Roquemore Skierski PLLC works with forensic accountants and investigators to evaluate these situations and protect client interests in matters involving both civil and criminal exposure.

Remedies for Breach of Fiduciary Duty Under Texas Law

Texas law classifies breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, which allows courts to award damages and equitable relief. Available remedies may include:

 

  • Recovery of lost profits or diverted opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits obtained through misconduct
  • Establishment of a constructive trust over misused assets
  • Injunctive relief to prevent continued violations
  • Attorney’s fees and litigation costs in appropriate cases

 

Where the conduct is intentional or reflects conscious disregard, courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Allen breach of fiduciary duty attorneys evaluate each case carefully to pursue all available forms of recovery.
