Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Claims involving breach of fiduciary duty can disrupt businesses, strain leadership relationships, and carry significant financial and reputational risk. Keogh Cox represents companies, shareholders, directors, officers, and partners in these disputes across Louisiana’s state and federal courts.

We bring a practical understanding of how fiduciary duties apply within different business structures, from closely held companies to larger corporate entities. Whether the matter involves allegations of self-dealing, conflicts of interest, or failures in oversight, we work to clarify the facts, assess exposure, and develop a strategy aligned with our client’s goals.

Our team handles both sides of these disputes—representing clients whose interests have been harmed, as well as those defending against fiduciary duty claims. We focus on efficient resolution, whether through early motion practice, negotiated outcomes, or litigation when necessary.

Fiduciary duty claims often vary based on the structure of the business entity involved. We regularly handle matters involving:

• Corporate officers and directors and their duty of care
• Shareholder disputes and derivative claims
• Partnership and joint venture conflicts
• Allegations of self-dealing or conflicts of interest
• Breach of loyalty and mismanagement claims

Keogh Cox provides steady, business-minded representation in complex fiduciary disputes, with a focus on protecting both legal and operational interests.
