How a Manufacturing Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Private Label Agreement in Illinois

In 2023, a small manufacturer of exclusive dog treats in Illinois sought legal assistance to draft a private label agreement. The client was approached by a large franchise to provide exclusive dog treat cookies, which would be packaged under the franchise's brand. Given the nature of this venture, the manufacturer aimed to protect its interests, particularly regarding the unique designs and formulations of their products intended for canine consumption. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $395 to $2,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested timeframe of over a week.
