How a Manufacturing Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Manufacturing Agreement in Alaska

In 2021, a business in Alaska sought assistance with drafting a manufacturing agreement for the design and supply of bespoke furniture, signage, and moveable goods. The client aimed to establish clear ownership of goods until full payment was made and preferred to exclude any instructions from third-party designers or contractors, focusing solely on the principal customer. Additionally, the payment terms were specified as a 50% deposit, 40% upon delivery, and the remaining 10% upon completion of any final adjustments. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $695 to $1,200, all submitted to meet the work's requested deadline of one week.
