Document background
The Client Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in professional services contexts within Saudi Arabia to formalize the relationship between service providers and their clients. It is typically issued at the beginning of a new professional engagement or when there are significant changes to an existing arrangement. The document must comply with Saudi Arabian legal requirements, including various professional services regulations and Sharia principles. A Client Engagement Letter includes essential information such as scope of services, fee structures, timelines, confidentiality provisions, and regulatory compliance requirements. It serves as both a legal protection and a practical roadmap for the professional relationship, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding between parties while meeting local regulatory obligations.
