Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nikki has breached a fiduciary duty to HBR by competing with the firm. As an employee, Nikki owes a duty of loyalty to her employer, and engaging in a competing business can harm HBR's interests, even if the consulting work is done outside of normal working hours. This duty of loyalty is separate from any contractual relationship Nikki has with her clients.
