How an Apparel & Fashion Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an User Agreement in New York

In 2024, a business in New York sought assistance with drafting a user agreement for their new online marketplace. The client aimed to create a platform that would consolidate independent foreign brands, facilitating their entry into the U.S. market through a drop shipping model. By providing all necessary shipping documentation and managing payments, the client intended to charge brands a monthly membership fee along with a 30% sales commission. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $475 to $1,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
