How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Commission Agreement in New York

In 2023, an individual in New York posted a project seeking assistance with a review of a commission agreement. The client needed a thorough examination of the contract they were about to sign with a company to work as an independent sales representative on a commission-only basis. Their main priorities were to mitigate risks associated with payment and ensure the wording of the agreement protected their interests, particularly as they were entering into the contract personally rather than through a limited liability company. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $750, all submitted in order to meet the client's deadline of less than one week.
