How a Marketing & Advertising Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Subcontractor Agreement in Illinois

In 2022, a business in Illinois sought assistance with drafting a subcontractor agreement to ensure compliance with IRS guidelines. The client operates in the marketing and advertising industry, employing one part-time employee and eight subcontractors. To streamline operations, they needed a general subcontractor agreement specifically tailored for their service-based model, along with a statement of work template. The client had various inquiries regarding contractor obligations, including reporting requirements and restrictions on soliciting clients post-contract. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $450 to $800, all submitted to meet the deadline of over a week.
