A Retainer Letter is essential for establishing formal professional relationships in Qatar's legal services sector. This document is typically used when a client wishes to engage a law firm for ongoing legal services or specific legal matters. The letter comprehensively outlines the scope of services, fee structures, and terms of engagement while ensuring compliance with Qatar's legal framework, including Law No. 23 of 2006 (Advocacy Law) and related regulations. The Retainer Letter serves as the primary document governing the attorney-client relationship, incorporating necessary provisions for confidentiality, conflict checks, and professional obligations. It's particularly important in Qatar's business environment where clear documentation of professional relationships is crucial for both legal and regulatory purposes.
