Williams IP Holdings, LLC v. Schwarz

Case No. 3D2023-2180

The Third DCA held that a subordinate 'Quote' proposal containing a permissive Florida forum selection clause was subsumed into a master Public Relations Consultancy agreement containing a mandatory, exclusive New York forum selection clause, so the New York clause controlled the breach of contract count. The court reversed the denial of the motion to dismiss Count I for improper venue and remanded for the trial court to rule in the first instance on the motion as to the remaining defamation counts.
