OPINION
LAURA CARTER HIGLEY, Justice.
In this breach of contract case, the trial court awarded Hooks Industrial, Inc. (“Hooks”) $1,200,000 in lost profit-damages against Fairmont Supply Company (“Fair-mont”), but denied Hooks’s attorney’s fees claim. Both Fairmont and Hooks appeal; each raise one issue. Fairmont complains that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the opinion testimony of Hooks’s damages expert, regarding the calculation of lost-profit damages. Hooks contends that the trial court erred in concluding that Pennsylvania law governs its claim for attorney’s fees.
