Document background
The Limited Retainer Agreement serves as a crucial document in modern legal practice, particularly as clients seek more cost-effective and focused legal services. This agreement type has become increasingly common in U.S. jurisdictions as a response to growing demand for unbundled legal services. It provides clarity and protection for both attorneys and clients by explicitly defining the scope of representation, fee arrangements, and mutual obligations. The document must comply with state-specific bar requirements and ABA guidelines while ensuring clear communication of limited service scope.
