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.
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:
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.
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.
Texas law classifies breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, which allows courts to award damages and equitable relief. Available remedies may include:
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.
Roquemore Skierski PLLC provides focused and strategic representation to businesses throughout Allen and the surrounding areas. Each fiduciary duty case is led by an attorney experienced in business litigation and familiar with the procedures and expectations of the Collin County District Courts. We also represent clients in arbitration proceedings across North Texas.
Our approach emphasizes preparation and clarity. We evaluate opportunities for early resolution while preparing each case as if it will proceed to trial. This ensures that clients maintain a strong position throughout the dispute and are equipped to make informed decisions at each stage.
If you believe a partner, officer, or shareholder has violated fiduciary obligations, or if you are defending against such a claim, Roquemore Skierski PLLC can assess your situation and develop a strategy aligned with your business objectives.
Fiduciary duties generally include the duty of loyalty, which requires acting in the best interests of the business, and the duty of care, which requires informed and reasonable decision-making. Failing to disclose conflicts or misusing company resources may constitute a breach.
Yes. Partners, shareholders, and members of closely held entities may bring claims when another fiduciary diverts company opportunities, withholds information, or mismanages assets. Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists Allen clients with evaluating and pursuing these claims.
Most claims must be filed within four years of when the breach occurred or when it should have been discovered. Because the timing depends on the specific facts, early consultation with an Allen breach of fiduciary duty attorney is important to preserve your rights.
