Document background
The Company Secretary Engagement Letter is a crucial document used when appointing a company secretary, whether an individual or a professional firm, to provide corporate secretarial services. Under England and Wales law, this document formalizes the appointment and clearly defines the scope of services, responsibilities, and terms of engagement. It includes essential details about regulatory compliance, reporting obligations, and governance requirements, particularly in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The letter serves as a protective mechanism for both parties by establishing clear expectations, service standards, and fee arrangements.
