MIZE, J.

Appellant, CBRE, Inc., appeals from a final judgment for attorneys’ fees and

costs entered by the trial court in favor of Appellee DidierGroup, LLC. As the

underlying final judgment on which the final judgment for attorneys’ fees and

costs was predicated was reversed by this Court in its opinion in CBRE, Inc. v.

DidierGroup, LLC, No. 6D2023-3011, 2026 WL 706229, at *1 (Fla. 6th DCA

Mar. 13, 2026), the final judgment for attorneys’ fees and costs likewise must be reversed. See Jupiter Mall Realty Corp. v. Rosner’s, Inc., 614 So. 2d 52, 52 (Fla.

4th DCA 1993); Marty v. Bainter, 727 So. 2d 1124, 1125 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999)

(“[A]n award of attorney’s fees and costs predicated on a reversed or vacated final

judgment also must be reversed.”). This reversal is without prejudice to either

party seeking attorneys’ fees at the conclusion of the proceedings below.
