How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review an IP Assignment Agreement in Texas

In 2026, a business in Texas posted a project seeking assistance with an IP assignment agreement to facilitate the formation of a Delaware C-Corp. The client, a physician developing healthcare software that is subject to HIPAA regulations, required legal counsel to review the corporate structure, confirm founder equity and vesting, draft an agreement to transfer intellectual property, and provide guidance on the 83(b) election. The client specifically requested flat fee proposals and preferred to work with an attorney experienced in startup law. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $699 to $3,999, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than a week.
