Document background
The Client Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in professional service relationships in Malaysia to formalize the terms of engagement between professional service providers and their clients. It serves multiple purposes: establishing the legal framework for the professional relationship, defining the scope of services and deliverables, outlining fee structures and payment terms, and ensuring compliance with Malaysian regulatory requirements. This document is essential for protecting both parties' interests and setting clear expectations for the engagement. It typically includes provisions for confidentiality, data protection under Malaysian law, professional liability, and specific service deliverables. The Client Engagement Letter should be prepared and executed before commencing any professional services and must comply with relevant Malaysian professional standards and regulations.
