How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Sublease in New Jersey

In 2023, a business in New Jersey sought assistance with the review of a sublease agreement. The agreement, drafted by the lessee's lawyer, involved subleasing the entire space of a nail salon for a cannabis disperser with an option to buy out after 18 months. The client prioritized ensuring adequate protections within the contract, which was expected to be concise, spanning only 2-3 pages. As a result, the client received two proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $150 to $745, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of less than a week.
