  • stating that the mere fact that a non-forum firm or attorney agreed to act as a trustee of a trust is not sufficient to establish purposeful availment
  • “It is not the relationship itself, but the con tent of the parties’ interactions that creates constitutionally significant contacts.”
  • solicitations directed at a resident of the forum constitute purposeful activity related to the forum
  • “[A] contract is arguably breached where a promisor fails to perform . . . .”
