How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Consulting Services Contract in Pennsylvania

In 2023, an individual in Pennsylvania sought assistance with a consulting services contract as they aimed to become a freelance salesperson, or 'referral partner', for a firm providing Employee Retention Credit refund services. The client needed a thorough review of a 3.5-page agreement to ensure there were no concerning clauses, particularly regarding the injunction clause, and to assess any potential risks before signing the contract. Clarity was essential for the client as they wanted to make an informed decision about entering into a commission-based sales role. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $50 to $500, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
