Document background
Legal Engagement Agreements are essential documents used when establishing attorney-client relationships in the United States. This contract type serves as the foundational document defining the scope, terms, and conditions of legal representation. A Legal Engagement Agreement typically includes detailed information about services to be provided, fee structures, billing arrangements, client responsibilities, and confidentiality obligations. It ensures compliance with state bar requirements and professional conduct rules while providing clear expectations for both parties. These agreements are particularly important for risk management and establishing clear communication channels between attorneys and clients.
