How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Consulting Services Contract in Massachusetts

In 2023, a personal client in Massachusetts posted a project seeking assistance with a consulting services contract. After being let go from a previous job, the client secured an independent contract opportunity and needed to ensure that the provided agreement would adequately protect them without the formation of an LLC. Their primary concern was to avoid exposure while navigating the terms of the contract as they transitioned into independent consulting. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $240 to $795, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
