How an Education Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in California (2020)

In 2020, a business in California posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a service agreement. The client, a social impact startup providing training and development services for public schools, needed help revising several sections of a contract they were required to sign with a school district. Their primary concerns included amending confidentiality clauses, securing ownership rights over their work product, and establishing provisions for potential outsourcing. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,200, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
