How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Business Purchase (all docs) in California

In 2025, a business in California posted a project seeking assistance with reviewing contracts related to the purchase of an existing business. The client was negotiating three potential deals, including a single unit and a two-unit franchise pizza restaurant, as well as an emergency packout business. With significant concerns regarding the details of the contracts, including the franchise agreements for the pizza options, the client aimed to ensure due diligence in their decision-making process. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $7,500, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of over one week.
