By definition, a fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interests of another party. As an example, a stock broker has a fiduciary duty to his or her clients to make investments according to their wishes and to act in their best interests in investing, making trades, etc. A breach of fiduciary duty may cause an individual or a business to sustain a great deal of damage, depending on the particular breach and how it affects the victim.

What Constitutes a Breach of Fiduciary Duty?

Fiduciary duty is established when a relationship with a client involves special trust or expertise. In situations where a client would rely on a business or professional in some field to provide knowledgeable guidance or representation, a breach of this duty or obligation may actually be grounds for the client to seek financial damages. A breach of fiduciary duty may occur when a business or professional acts in any manner which is against the interests of the client, including acting for the personal benefit of the company at the expense of the client. Dishonesty, misrepresentation, deception and negligence may all constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.
