How a Security & Investigations Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in California (2020)

In 2020, a business in California posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a service agreement as they prepared to launch a new VIP security venture. The client, which is a subsidiary of a successful Canadian security firm, required support in acquiring municipal licenses and understanding necessary liability insurance policies tailored to the risks associated with personal protection services. Additionally, they sought legal expertise in creating contracts for VIP protection operatives, who would initially be hired on a contractual basis rather than as permanent employees due to ongoing legislative changes regarding employment classification. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $3,500. The proposal was submitted to meet the client's deadline, ensuring the timely progression of their business undertakings.
