How a Software & It Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Consulting Services Contract in New York

In 2024, a business in New York sought assistance with drafting a consulting services contract tailored for the IT consulting sector. The client, who provides a range of IT services to small businesses and home users, aimed to establish a contract that emphasized liability and errors & omissions rather than intellectual property concerns. They wanted to ensure that their clients understood their commitment to industry-standard practices while also protecting themselves against potential issues arising from the consultancy. As a result, the client received 19 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $150 to $1,200, all submitted to meet the client’s deadline of over a week.
