Frisco Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Frisco Breach of Fiduciary Duty Attorneys

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and corporate officers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout Frisco and the greater Collin and Denton County region. These matters frequently arise when someone entrusted with authority in a company places personal interests above their obligations to the business or fails to act with the honesty, diligence, and loyalty that Texas law requires.

 

Our Frisco breach of fiduciary duty attorneys have extensive experience navigating complex internal business conflicts involving misuse of company assets, diversion of opportunities, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and failures in management oversight. Each case begins with a detailed review of the facts, an analysis of financial impact, and a litigation plan designed to protect your rights and preserve the integrity of your business.

How Fiduciary Duties Arise in Texas Businesses

A fiduciary duty exists when one person is legally obligated to act in the best interests of another. In Texas, these duties routinely apply to partners, managing members, directors, officers, trustees, and individuals who hold positions of authority or control within a company. Such duties include the duty of loyalty, the duty of care, and the obligation to act with good faith and honesty.

 

A breach occurs when that person uses their role for personal gain, withholds vital information, or fails to exercise the level of judgment their position requires. Examples include:

 

  • Redirecting business opportunities to a competing or personal venture
  • Misusing company funds, trade secrets, or intellectual property
  • Participating in insider transactions without required disclosure
  • Withholding financial or operational information from stakeholders
  • Making negligent decisions that expose the company to financial harm

 

To succeed on a claim, the plaintiff must prove the existence of a fiduciary relationship, a breach of that duty, and resulting damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Frisco breach of fiduciary duty lawyers work with financial experts, document examiners, and key witnesses to establish these elements and advance your claim.

Civil and Criminal Dimensions of Fiduciary Misconduct

Most fiduciary breaches are handled through civil litigation. However, some conduct may also violate criminal statutes if it involves theft, fraudulent activity, or misapplication of fiduciary property under Texas law.

 

For example, a company manager who manipulates accounts, transfers assets without permission, or conceals financial records may face both civil liability and criminal exposure. Roquemore Skierski PLLC works with forensic accountants and investigators to manage these risks and ensure clients understand the full scope of potential consequences.

Legal Remedies for Breach of Fiduciary Duty in Texas

Texas recognizes breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, giving courts the authority to award both monetary and equitable remedies. These may include:

 

  • Compensation for lost profits or diverted opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits gained through the breach
  • Imposition of a constructive trust on misused assets
  • Injunctive relief preventing continued misconduct
  • Attorney’s fees and related costs in certain cases

If the conduct was intentional or reckless, Texas courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Frisco fiduciary duty attorneys evaluate your damages carefully to pursue the full range of remedies available.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

Fiduciaries typically owe the duty of loyalty, which requires them to put the company’s interests ahead of personal benefit, and the duty of care, which requires informed and prudent decision-making. Misuse of funds, concealment of conflicts, or diversion of opportunities can all violate these duties.

Yes. Partners and members of closely held businesses in Texas may file suit if another fiduciary mismanages company resources, takes undisclosed profits, or withholds critical information. Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists Frisco clients with evaluating and prosecuting these claims.

Most claims must be filed within four years of the misconduct or its discovery. Because timing can be highly fact dependent, it is best to consult an experienced Frisco breach of fiduciary duty attorney early to preserve your rights.
