How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Consulting Services Contract in California

In 2022, an individual in California sought assistance with drafting a consulting services contract tailored for their new role as an independent contractor. This client was set to provide financial consulting and operations planning services to their first client, an LLC based in Pennsylvania. They aimed to establish a comprehensive agreement to cover their work, emphasizing an hourly compensation structure with a weekly cap, while recognizing the need for a separate mutual non-disclosure agreement from the client. As a result, the client received eight proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $400 to $1,200, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
