The Client Engagement Agreement is a fundamental document used when establishing a professional service relationship between a provider and their client under English and Welsh law. It serves as the primary contract defining the scope of work, payment terms, and mutual obligations. This document is essential for protecting both parties' interests, ensuring regulatory compliance, and setting clear expectations for the engagement. It should be used at the commencement of any new client relationship or when significantly modifying an existing service arrangement.
