How a Human Resources Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in Maryland (2021)

In 2021, a business in Maryland sought assistance with drafting a service agreement as it transitioned from an independent consultant model to a team-based approach. The client needed a consulting agreement that defined the role of a main liaison while allowing for multiple consultants to fulfill contract requirements. Additionally, they required a flexible template that could accommodate various service packages and the option for clients to add extra hours beyond their retained services. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $485 to $1,400, all submitted within the requested deadline of less than one week.
