How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Investment Subscription Agreement in Virginia

In 2025, a small startup mobile app company in Virginia sought assistance in drafting investment subscription agreements. The client required three distinct agreements, two of which needed to be identical for individuals who had contributed development work in exchange for equity, while a third agreement was necessary for an individual providing marketing services. After attempting a DIY approach without confidence in the legal protections offered, the client turned to professional help to ensure the agreements were simple yet effective. As a result, the client received seven proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $4,000, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
