How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in California (2022)

In 2022, a business in California sought assistance in drafting a service agreement for their SaaS customers as a Stripe payment processing reseller. The client required an agreement that clearly outlined the merchant services provided to ensure effective operations and compliance. Given the intricacies of their services, it was essential for the agreement to reflect the nature of their business model, including the use of a single account with Stripe to facilitate transactions for their customers. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $1,000 to $1,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
