How a Consulting Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Non-Circumvention Agreement in New York

In 2025, a business in New York posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a non-circumvention agreement. The client provides consulting services related to community solar, where they support clients in navigating their options and connecting them with vetted solar partners. To safeguard their interests, the client needed a legal document that would prevent clients from seeking alternative providers after benefiting from their advisory services, thereby ensuring they could still receive the referral fees they were entitled to. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $3,000, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of over a week.
