When Do Businesses Have a Fiduciary Responsibility?
Parties involved in commercial litigation have a fiduciary responsibility to provide financial, operational and legal information deemed relevant to resolving the dispute. A party who withholds information, as well as third parties who help keep the information away from the courts, can be held liable for breach of fiduciary liability.
If you are involved in commercial litigation and suspect the other party may be withholding information critical to the resolution of the case, you may have a legitimate claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The attorneys of Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon have extensive experience as one of the Houston region's prominent commercial litigation firms.
