Document background
The Farewell Letter To Clients is a critical business communication tool used when a professional or business owner needs to inform their client base about their departure, whether due to retirement, career change, or business transition. Under Dutch law, this document serves multiple purposes: it maintains professional transparency, fulfills notification obligations, and ensures compliance with both general business practices and specific industry regulations. The letter typically includes information about service continuity, new contact persons, and transition arrangements. It must comply with Dutch civil law requirements regarding business relationships, as well as EU GDPR regulations when handling client information. This document is particularly important in regulated industries where formal client notification is mandatory, and it helps maintain professional standards while protecting both the departing party's and the clients' interests.
