Arlington Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Arlington Breach of Fiduciary Duty Attorneys

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and corporate officers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout Arlington and Tarrant County. These matters typically arise when an individual entrusted with authority in a company acts for personal benefit instead of fulfilling their obligations to the business or its stakeholders. Texas law expects those in fiduciary roles to act with loyalty, care, and honesty, and a failure to meet these obligations can result in serious legal and financial consequences.

 

Our Arlington breach of fiduciary duty attorneys handle complex disputes involving misappropriation of assets, undisclosed conflicts of interest, diversion of business opportunities, and negligent management decisions. Each case receives a structured evaluation of the facts, a review of financial impact, and a litigation strategy designed to safeguard your rights and pursue appropriate remedies.

Fiduciary Duties in a Business Relationship

A fiduciary duty arises when one party is legally obligated to act in the best interests of another. These duties are common in business relationships, including those among partners, managing members, corporate directors and officers, majority shareholders, and individuals with control or influence over company decisions.

A breach occurs when the fiduciary places personal interests above their obligations, fails to disclose material information, or neglects the level of care expected of them. Examples include:

 

  • Redirecting company opportunities for personal gain
  • Misusing or concealing company funds
  • Engaging in insider transactions without proper disclosure
  • Omitting key financial or operational information
  • Making careless decisions that expose the business to loss

To prove a breach, the claimant must show a fiduciary relationship existed, the duty was violated, and the breach resulted in damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Arlington breach of fiduciary duty lawyers use detailed document review, financial forensics, and witness analysis to establish these elements.

Civil and Criminal Aspects of Fiduciary Misconduct

Most fiduciary violations lead to civil litigation, but certain conduct may also involve criminal statutes if it includes theft, fraud, embezzlement, or misapplication of fiduciary property.

 

For example, an officer who alters financial records or transfers assets without authorization may face both civil claims and criminal investigation. Roquemore Skierski PLLC works with financial experts and investigators to evaluate exposure and preserve critical evidence in such cases.

Available Remedies for Breach of Fiduciary Duty in Texas

Texas law classifies breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, which permits both monetary and equitable relief. These remedies may include:

 

  • Compensation for lost profits or business opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits gained through the breach
  • A constructive trust on misused funds or property
  • Injunctions preventing further misconduct
  • Attorney’s fees and litigation costs in permitted circumstances

Where the conduct was intentional or reckless, courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Arlington breach of fiduciary duty attorneys analyze financial records and quantify damages to pursue full recovery.
