Document background
The Contract Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in Malaysian professional services to formalize business relationships between service providers and their clients. It serves as both a formal offer of services and, upon acceptance, a binding contract under Malaysian law. This document is typically used when initiating new professional engagements or updating existing ones, containing essential information about scope of work, fee structures, timelines, and service delivery terms. The letter must comply with Malaysian legal requirements, particularly the Contracts Act 1950 and industry-specific regulations. It's designed to protect both parties' interests by clearly defining expectations, responsibilities, and terms of engagement, while providing a solid foundation for the professional relationship.
