How a Medical Device Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Buyout Agreement in Tennessee

In 2024, a business in Tennessee sought assistance with drafting a buyout agreement related to the purchase of a previous partner's royalties in a medical device venture. The client aimed to finalize the buyout process and ensure that all future royalties were appropriately addressed, requiring an amendment to a contract signed earlier in the year. This involved arranging for a lump sum payment that would close out any association with the former partner, effective January 1, 2025. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $1,200, all crafted to meet the client's requested deadline of one week.
