Fiduciary Litigation

When someone entrusted with managing another person's money or property breaches that duty, the consequences can be severe. Royal Lea litigates breach of fiduciary duty claims against trustees, executors, business partners, agents under a power of attorney, and financial professionals.

Fiduciary relationships carry the highest legal standard of care. Royal Lea pursues claims for self-dealing, mismanagement of trust or estate assets, breach of duty by a business partner or co-owner, and misconduct by financial advisors and brokers who owe their clients a fiduciary duty.

This practice area draws directly on his securities arbitration background — many broker-client relationships carry fiduciary obligations, and breach of those obligations is often the heart of an investor's claim.
