How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Operational Level Agreement in California

In 2023, a business in California sought assistance in drafting an operational level agreement tailored to their needs. The client required a clear outline of their roles and responsibilities as the sole owner, including provisions for a supervising physician. They specifically indicated there would be no voting rights, initial contributions, profit allocations, or membership transfer stipulations, as mandated by the preferred standards of the Athletic Training Board. As a result, the client received seven proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $475 to $1,800. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week, ensuring the timely completion of the project.
