How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Consulting Services Contract in Texas

In 2024, a business in Texas sought assistance in drafting a comprehensive consulting services contract. The client aimed to create a thorough template that would effectively protect them from liability while also accommodating their billing structure of a combination flat rate and upfront fees. This contract was intended to serve future clients and would be supplemented by a scope of work addendum that the client was developing independently. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $999, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of less than one week.
