The Retainership Contract serves as a fundamental document for establishing long-term professional service relationships under Swiss law. It is particularly suitable when a client requires regular access to professional services over an extended period, with a predetermined fee structure. This agreement type is commonly used by professional service providers, consultants, and advisors who provide ongoing support to their clients. The document typically includes detailed provisions about service scope, fee arrangements, professional obligations, and termination rights, all aligned with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Code of Obligations (OR). It differs from one-off service agreements by establishing a continuous professional relationship with regular payment terms, making it ideal for situations requiring consistent professional support and accessibility.
