390: Fiduciary Duty, The New Legal Threat to MSPs?

Bradley Gross and I talk about a possible legal threat to MSPs, Fiduciary Duty.

Brad's last two podcast episodes caught my attention. So I reached out to him to clarify what fiduciary duty means and why attorneys may be using it to sue us.

Some quick points:

  • Everyone signs a Master Agreement
  • Don't hide your agreement
  • You may want to stop calling yourself a "Trusted Advisor"

We also answered a question from the chat asking how to handle a tech that leaves your business and undercuts you to take your clients.
