How a Facilities Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Service Agreement in Illinois (2024)

In 2024, a business in Illinois posted a project seeking assistance with drafting service agreements for both residential and commercial cleaning services. The client required a flexible contract for residential clients that did not impose a long-term commitment, only asking for a 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Conversely, the commercial agreement needed to include a one-year commitment, stipulating that clients would be liable for remaining payments if the contract was terminated early. As a result, the client received nine proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $365 to $1,650, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of over a week.
