How a Health Care Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in Texas (2023)

In 2023, a business in Texas sought assistance with drafting a service agreement tailored for staffing and recruiting services in the health care industry. The client aimed to create a contract that would protect candidates by preventing clients from hiring them through other agencies once presented, alongside an NDA to secure sensitive discussions about billing rates. Additionally, the agreement needed to include clauses regarding exclusive candidate searches, a specified billing rate, and provisions for third-party financial assessment. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $425 to $1,250, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of over a week.
