Document background
The Professional Services Engagement Letter is a crucial document used in the Philippines when establishing a formal professional service relationship between a service provider and client. It serves as the primary document defining the engagement terms, scope, and obligations of both parties. This document is particularly important in the Philippine context as it must comply with various local regulations including the Civil Code of the Philippines, professional practice laws, and tax regulations. The letter typically includes detailed service descriptions, fee arrangements, confidentiality provisions, and other key terms while incorporating specific requirements of Philippine business law and professional standards. It's commonly used for engagements ranging from consulting and advisory services to specialized professional work, ensuring clear communication of expectations and legal compliance.
