Houston Attorneys for Business Owners and Investors
Is a business partner or associate exploiting his or her authority at your expense? Do you suspect that your interest in a business is losing value because of that person's financial negligence or other unlawful behavior? For engaged legal guidance and strong representation when you need to take action, please contact us today.
In broad terms, a breach of fiduciary duty occurs when someone legally obligated to act in another's interest fails to exercise care and diligence. One relatively common situation is when a majority or general partner in a limited liability partnership (LLP) breaks his or her obligation to act in other partners' best interests.
Our proven business lawyers are prepared to listen closely, investigate all aspects of your unique situation and offer sound legal guidance. We take practical, effective action and build beneficial relationships with business owners and investors throughout the greater Houston area and across South Texas.
Protecting Your Interests May Require Decisive Legal Action
Misappropriating or diverting funds, entering unfavorable contracts, and unauthorized sale or mismanagement of assets are common breaches of fiduciary duty that may justify filing a lawsuit. Our attorneys' experience also extends to:
- Partnership/shareholder disputes arising from joint ventures
- Lender liability cases when banks or other financial entities are alleged to have overstepped their bounds at the borrower's expense
- Other disputes often requiring diligent investigation and the ability to go to trial if necessary
We have a track record of taking on powerful people and companies in various types of litigation. If we represent you in a breach of fiduciary duty case, you can depend on our responsiveness and guidance every step of the way, along with total preparation and determination to earn the positive outcome you deserve.
