Document background
The Client Engagement Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing professional service relationships in the Canadian market. It is typically used when a service provider begins a new client relationship or formalizes an existing one, requiring detailed documentation of service scope, deliverables, and mutual obligations. The agreement must comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including privacy laws, professional standards, and consumer protection requirements. This document is essential for protecting both parties' interests, setting clear expectations, and ensuring regulatory compliance. It should be customized based on the specific services offered, industry requirements, and provincial jurisdiction while maintaining core elements of a Client Engagement Agreement such as scope definition, payment terms, and liability provisions.
