How a Retail Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Retention Agreement in Utah

In 2024, a business in Utah sought assistance with drafting a retention agreement due to recent challenges that resulted in significant staff turnover. The owner recognized the necessity of formalizing future agreements to clarify roles and responsibilities for both himself and another employee, particularly after a misstep that impacted the team’s morale. With the intention of preventing similar issues, the client prioritized clear documentation to establish expectations moving forward. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $1,375, all submitted to meet the specified deadline of one week.
