Fiduciary Duties

Fiduciary Duties are the legal obligations (commonly including the duty of care and duty of loyalty) that directors, officers, or controlling parties owe to a corporation and its shareholders. In M&A and VC governance, Fiduciary Duties shape how boards evaluate financings, conflicts, related-party transactions, and sale processes.
