How a Staffing & Recruiting Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Commission Agreement in Florida

In 2024, a business based in Florida sought assistance in drafting a comprehensive commission agreement after acquiring a recruitment firm whose previous owner had died. The client needed a legally sound document that outlined the unique commission structures for various roles such as cold callers, sales closers, and recruiters, while ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. Additionally, the client was concerned about the implications of hiring independent contractors versus employees, particularly regarding expense payments and verification of work eligibility. As a result, the client received 10 proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $325 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the client's timeline of over a week.
