nounpl: disloyal consultants

A disloyal consultant recommended investments that benefited his own firm rather than the client's portfolio.

In both Brazilian and American business cultures, disloyalty in consulting is considered a serious breach of professional ethics and often results in legal consequences including lawsuits for breach of fiduciary duty, trade secret theft, and non-compete violations. In Brazil, such cases may be pursued under labor law (CLT) and commercial law, while in the USA, cases typically involve civil litigation and sometimes criminal charges. The term carries significant reputational damage in professional circles.
