How an Event Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Listing Agreement in Oregon

In 2026, a business in Oregon sought assistance with a listing agreement as part of the process of hiring a broker to sell its event rental company. The client had several concerns regarding the contract, including the inability to terminate the broker for poor performance and the implications of a 10% commission that could be owed even if the business did not sell. Additionally, the client wanted clarification on the indemnity provisions, emphasizing the need for limitations to protect themselves against potential negligence. As a result, the client received nine proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $450 to $999, all submitted to ensure completion within the requested deadline of less than a week.
