The Retainer And Contingency Fee Agreement is essential for establishing hybrid fee arrangements in legal services within Saudi Arabia. It is typically used when clients require ongoing legal services (covered by the retainer) while also pursuing specific cases or claims where success-based fees are appropriate (covered by the contingency). This document must strictly comply with Saudi Legal Practice Law, Saudi Bar Association regulations, and Sharia principles, making it distinct from similar agreements in other jurisdictions. The agreement includes comprehensive details about fee calculations, payment terms, service scope, professional obligations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It's particularly valuable for complex legal matters where regular legal support is needed alongside specific outcome-dependent services, such as litigation or settlement negotiations.
