Mansfield Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawyers

Mansfield Breach of Fiduciary Duty Attorneys

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents business owners, partners, shareholders, and senior decision-makers in breach of fiduciary duty disputes throughout Mansfield and the southern Tarrant County region. These cases arise when a trusted individual places personal benefit ahead of their responsibilities to the business or fails to exercise the judgment, honesty, and loyalty that Texas law requires. Such misconduct can jeopardize ongoing operations, damage internal relationships, and result in substantial financial loss.

 

Our Mansfield breach of fiduciary duty attorneys handle disputes involving diversion of corporate assets, undisclosed conflicts, misuse of authority, and breakdowns in governance or management oversight. Every matter begins with a clear assessment of the facts, the financial harm involved, and a litigation strategy tailored to protect your business and advance your objectives.

Fiduciary Obligations in Texas Business Settings

A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation requiring one party to act in the best interests of another. In Texas, these duties commonly apply to partners, managing members, directors, officers, and individuals with significant control or influence over company decisions. The core duties include loyalty, care, and full disclosure.

A breach occurs when the fiduciary acts in a self-serving manner, conceals important information, or neglects to exercise proper judgment. Examples include:

  • Taking a company opportunity for personal use
  • Moving funds or assets without authorization
  • Entering transactions with personal benefit that are not disclosed
  • Hiding financial information from other owners or investors
  • Making careless or uninformed decisions that damage the organization

To establish a claim, the injured party must show that a fiduciary duty existed, the duty was breached, and measurable damages resulted. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Mansfield fiduciary duty lawyers use financial records, correspondence, and expert testimony to build a strong evidentiary foundation.

When Fiduciary Misconduct Leads to Civil or Criminal Exposure

Most breaches of fiduciary duty result in civil litigation, where parties pursue financial or equitable remedies. However, certain actions may also violate criminal statutes, such as theft, fraud, or misapplication of fiduciary property.

 

For instance, an officer who manipulates accounting records or transfers assets to themselves or a related entity may face civil liability along with criminal investigation. Roquemore Skierski PLLC works with forensic accountants and investigators to evaluate potential exposure and preserve evidence.

Remedies for Breach of Fiduciary Duty Under Texas Law

Texas recognizes breach of fiduciary duty as a tort, which allows courts to award a variety of remedies. These may include:

  • Monetary damages for lost profits or diverted opportunities
  • Disgorgement of profits obtained through the breach
  • Imposition of a constructive trust over misused property
  • Injunctions to prevent ongoing or future misconduct
  • Attorney’s fees where permitted by statute or contract

If the conduct was intentional, reckless, or motivated by financial gain at the company’s expense, courts may also award exemplary (punitive) damages. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Mansfield breach of fiduciary duty attorneys analyze each matter to identify and pursue all remedies available under Texas law.
