⚠️ Important
This template is intended to be used together with the General Terms of Business (Master Professional Services Edition) for maximum legal protection and consistency.
The Retainer Agreement contains the engagement-specific commercial terms, while the General Terms of Business provides the firm’s standard contractual provisions covering confidentiality, professional standards, AML/KYC, intellectual property, limitation of liability, complaints handling, file management, and other core legal terms.
For a complete and professionally structured client engagement package, it is strongly recommended that you purchase both templates together.
