Fiduciary duty

Fiduciary duty is an important duty that corporate directors have towards the corporation, business entity or not-for-profit corporations as well as the duty trustees have towards trusts. Basically it is a duty to be loyal to the corporate entity or trust and a higher standard of conduct towards the entities. It includes the corporate opportunity[?] doctrine.
