⚠️ Important

This template is designed to be used together with the General Terms of Business (Master Professional Services Edition) and should not ordinarily be used as a standalone engagement document.

The Engagement Agreement contains the engagement-specific commercial terms, such as the scope of services, deliverables, timelines, fees, and project details. The General Terms of Business provides the firm’s standard legal terms governing confidentiality, legal professional privilege, AML/KYC compliance, intellectual property, data protection, file management, professional standards, limitation of liability, complaints handling, and dispute resolution.

For a complete, consistent, and professionally structured client engagement package, it is strongly recommended that you purchase both templates together.

Together, these documents create a robust contractual framework that saves drafting time, promotes consistency across engagements, and helps protect both the Service Provider and the Client.
