How a Construction Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Subcontractor Agreement in Illinois

In 2023, a business in Illinois sought assistance with drafting a subcontractor agreement tailored to meet the insurance requirements of a new general contractor in Ohio. The client aimed to create a compliant agreement that adhered to specific obligations outlined in the Cincinnati Contractors Supplemental, ensuring that the contract was suitable for subcontractors across multiple states. Given the new market entry and heightened insurance demands, the client recognized the need for a formal agreement that could accommodate their operational needs. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $995 to $2,500, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
