For this problem for breach of contract and conversion

the possible remedies include the normal contract and tort remedies. i Also, in a situation in which an agent breaches his or her duty to the principal by retaining benefits that belong to the principal, a court can impose a constructive trust and declare that the agent holds the benefits on behalf of the principal.
