How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Profit Share Agreement in New York

In 2025, a business in New York sought assistance with drafting a profit share agreement to be included in a long-term farm lease. The client had a preliminary draft outlining their needs, specifically focusing on the distribution of profits between the farm operator and the landowner based on calculated crop revenues after expenses. This agreement was essential for establishing clear expectations and financial arrangements for all parties involved. As a result, the client received eight proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $600 to $1,800. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's tight deadline of less than one week.
