Document background
A Retainer Letter is commonly used in India when establishing ongoing professional service relationships that require regular or continuous engagement. This document is essential when a client wishes to secure the services of a professional or firm on a recurring basis, typically involving monthly or annual retainer fees. The Retainer Letter, governed by Indian law, includes crucial details such as scope of services, fee arrangements, service levels, confidentiality provisions, and terms of engagement. It's particularly valuable for professional services where regular access to expertise is required, offering a more flexible and relationship-focused alternative to a full service agreement. The document must comply with Indian contract law, professional regulations, and specific industry requirements while maintaining clarity and professionalism in defining the service relationship.
