Document background
The Monthly Retainer Agreement is designed for situations where professional services are provided on an ongoing basis rather than as one-off projects. This document is particularly useful in Canadian business contexts where service providers wish to establish predictable revenue streams and clients seek to secure reliable access to professional services. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions for service scope, performance standards, and payment terms, while ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including tax requirements and professional service standards. It's commonly used by consultants, agencies, law firms, and other professional service providers who provide regular, recurring services to their clients. The Monthly Retainer Agreement helps both parties by providing clear expectations, consistent pricing, and defined service levels while offering flexibility for long-term professional relationships.
