Document background
The Client Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in professional service relationships in the Philippines, essential for establishing clear terms of engagement between service providers and their clients. It serves as both a legal agreement and a practical roadmap for the professional relationship, incorporating requirements from Philippine law, including the Civil Code, Data Privacy Act, and relevant professional regulations. This document is typically used at the commencement of a new professional engagement or when significantly modifying existing services. The Client Engagement Letter includes critical information such as scope of services, fee structures, timelines, deliverables, and professional obligations, while ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements and professional standards. It provides protection for both parties by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and terms of service delivery within the Philippine legal framework.
