When someone entrusted with responsibility abuses that trust, the harm can be lasting. At Los Angeles Civil Litigation Lawyers, we handle breach of fiduciary duty claims involving business partners, trustees, corporate officers, and agents.
A fiduciary duty arises when one person is legally bound to act in the best interest of another. Examples include partners owing loyalty to each other, trustees protecting beneficiaries, and officers safeguarding corporate assets. When a fiduciary acts in self-interest or causes financial harm, the injured party may sue for damages or removal.
California law provides remedies for breach, including restitution, disgorgement of profits, and punitive damages. Courts may also impose injunctions to prevent ongoing misconduct. We represent plaintiffs pursuing accountability and defendants accused of breaching their duties.
If you are facing allegations of breach, we develop defenses that demonstrate compliance and good faith. Trust is the foundation of these relationships, and our firm helps enforce accountability when that trust is broken.
