How a Software & It Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Service Agreement in Massachusetts (2021)

In 2021, a business in Massachusetts sought assistance with reviewing a service agreement for a significant contract with a new client. The client needed support in negotiating the terms of the agreement, particularly due to the disparity in size between their LLC and the potential client's well-known organization. They aimed to navigate the challenges of limited negotiating power while avoiding unfavorable terms, especially concerning indemnification clauses, given the project's scope included software development and infrastructure deployment. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids that ranged from $400 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of one week.
