Document background
The Retainer Fee Agreement is essential for professional service providers who wish to establish a formal, ongoing relationship with their clients under Belgian law. This document is typically used when a client requires regular access to professional services and prefers a predetermined fee structure rather than ad-hoc billing. The agreement details the scope of services covered by the retainer, payment terms, service levels, and the responsibilities of both parties. It's particularly valuable for situations requiring consistent professional support, such as legal counsel, business advisory, or technical services. The document must comply with Belgian contract law, professional services regulations, and relevant industry-specific requirements. It should address key aspects such as service delivery, confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and termination conditions while incorporating specific Belgian legal requirements regarding professional service contracts.
