In the past, the firm has filed claims for breach of fiduciary duty due to the fact that the company’s directors and officers caused the company to violate the law or engaged in other activities, exposing the company to criminal or civil penalties, massive losses, and damaging litigation such as securities fraud class actions. The fiduciary duties owed to a corporation by its directors and officers include the duties of due care and loyalty, and require directors and officers to obey the law (and cause the corporation to obey the law). In the past, we have filed cases in which the insiders obtained a corporate opportunity for personal gain without giving the corporation the chance to take full advantage of that opportunity, among other breaches. If you are a shareholder of a corporation which has been harmed through a breach of fiduciary duty by its officers and directors, or you have been ‘pushed out’ without sufficient compensation, you should seek our firm’s legal counsel.

Almost every state in the United States has a ‘consumer protection’ statute to protect consumers – and other businesses – from a variety of unfair and deceptive trade practices. In addition to state laws, federal laws including, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, Fair Credit Billing Act, and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, provide federal statutory rights for consumers. Usually, a consumer, including a business, will have potentially more than one claim to pursue, and at Audet & Partners, LLP our attorneys will apply years of experience to determine the best way to proceed and what law best serves the client, and, in most cases, the class members as whole.
