Document background
The Engagement Letter Agreement is a crucial document used in Nigerian professional services to formally establish and define the relationship between professional service providers and their clients. This document is essential when engaging consultants, advisors, or professional firms for specific projects or ongoing services. The agreement typically includes detailed information about the scope of work, fee structures, timelines, deliverables, and professional obligations while ensuring compliance with Nigerian legislation and professional standards. It serves multiple purposes: protecting both parties' interests, meeting regulatory requirements, and providing a clear framework for the professional relationship. The document must align with Nigerian contract law principles, relevant professional body regulations, and sector-specific requirements, making it a fundamental tool for professional service engagements in Nigeria.
