I will draft a robust referral commission contract
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Legal Contracts and Corporate Law
About this Gig
Paying for leads and client introductions requires clear legal boundaries. I am Sumit Kapur (#359515), a licensed U.S. attorney providing expert contract drafting for businesses and agencies.
A Referral Affiliate Contract (or Finders Fee Agreement) ensures that those who bring you business are paid fairly, while protecting your company from ongoing commission disputes or stolen clients.
I draft high-quality agreements that clearly define what constitutes a "qualified lead" and exactly when a commission is triggered.
Included in the Drafting:
Definition of a successful referral or qualified lead
Flat-fee vs. percentage-based commission structures
Payment timelines and tracking methods
Non-circumvention clauses (protecting your direct relationships)
Independent contractor status
Avoid the headache of verbal agreements and handshake deals. Secure your lead generation pipelines with an ironclad legal contract.

FAQ
What is a Non-Circumvention clause?
It prevents the referrer from bypassing you and doing business directly with the clients or vendors you introduce, protecting your business interests.
How do we define a "qualified lead"?
In the order questionnaire, you will explain what counts as a lead (e.g., a booked meeting, a signed contract, or a cleared payment), and I will draft the legal definition accordingly.
Is a referral agreement different from an affiliate marketing agreement?
Yes. Referral agreements typically deal with direct, 1-on-1 introductions or offline networking, whereas affiliate marketing usually deals with digital link-tracking and mass promotion.
Can I use this if I am the one referring clients to others?
Yes. Just let me know which side of the transaction you are on, and I will draft the contract to optimally protect your specific interests.
How long are the commissions valid?
We will establish a clear "referral period" in the contract, ensuring you are not obligated to pay commissions on returning clients indefinitely unless you choose to do so.
