Document background
The Consulting Engagement Letter is a essential business document used in the United Arab Emirates to formally establish and define professional consulting relationships. It serves as the primary agreement between consultants (whether individual professionals or consulting firms) and their clients, detailing the scope of work, commercial terms, and mutual obligations. This document is particularly important in the UAE business environment, where formal documentation and clear terms are highly valued. The letter typically includes specific provisions required under UAE law, such as governing law clauses, and addresses key aspects like confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and payment terms. It's commonly used across various industries for engagements ranging from strategic advisory to technical consulting, and must comply with UAE Civil Code and Commercial Transactions Law requirements.
