    What is a Fiduciary Duty and Do I Owe One?

    Dealing with companies, members, shareholders and partners, I hear a lot of accusations thrown around when a member, shareholder or partner isn’t satisfied with how their associates are running the jointly owned company. The main accusation I hear is the associate (member, shareholder or partner) has breached their fiduciary duty. So, what is a fiduciary duty, when do you owe a duty and to whom is the duty owed?

    How to Start an LLC in Missouri?

    I had a client call with an issue on whether or not he had a lawsuit against another party for a breach of contract claim. When everyone else told him no, Howard Law found a way to identify a claim and get the other party to perform their end of the contract without even filing suit.
