Document background
The Client Engagement Letter is a fundamental document in professional service relationships under Pakistani law, commonly used when a professional firm or individual practitioner agrees to provide services to a client. This document is essential for establishing clear expectations, defining scope, and protecting both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Pakistani regulations, including the Contract Act 1872 and relevant professional standards. The Client Engagement Letter typically includes crucial information about service scope, fees, timelines, team structure, confidentiality provisions, and termination conditions. It serves as both a legal safeguard and a practical roadmap for the professional relationship, particularly important in Pakistan's business environment where written documentation of professional engagements is increasingly emphasized for regulatory compliance and risk management.
