Document background
The Client Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in professional services relationships in Ireland. It serves as the primary contract document that defines the scope, terms, and conditions of the professional engagement between a service provider and their client. This document is essential when commencing any professional service arrangement and must comply with Irish regulatory requirements, including the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013, GDPR, and sector-specific regulations. The letter typically includes details about service scope, fees, timelines, responsibilities, data protection, confidentiality, and liability limitations. It's particularly important for regulated professions and should be customized based on the specific service offering and client requirements while maintaining compliance with Irish law.
