How a Software & It Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Cost Sharing Agreement in New York

In 2023, a business in New York posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a cost-sharing agreement to meet specific accounting and tax compliance needs. The client, an Australian-based software development company operating in the U.S. through a Nevada c-corp, required this document to clarify the corporation's share of reasonably anticipated benefits and to support their federal tax return. The accountant emphasized the importance of having a formal agreement in place to address these requirements. As a result, the client received 10 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $2,000, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over one week.
